Call it or not?

I thought about talking to the girl or the coach, but didn't see an opportunity. I should have probably made one and addressed it early. As it was, we didn't make the call until late in the third quarter. For whatever reason, my partner thought the rule only applies when there are opponents in the immediate vicinity.

As the new guy in town working with a ref who's been doing this for close to 40 years, I figured it wasn't the time to make waves or start a reputation as a "rules guy."

As always, it was a good situation to help me figure out how I'll deal with it at the varsity level.
