They obviously made a decision on who took the call without speaking. My guess is they spoke plenty in the locker room afterwards.

I believe in all the rules. Mainly because I know they were made up by those who know alot more about the game than I do. I love the rule on "not over-ruling another official". If I have made a mistake in judgement on a call, I would hope my partner would discuss it with me immediately to ensure the proper call to be made. I'm in such a learning mode right now, I have to keep telling myself that I will make mistakes. I would definitely NOT want to take anything away from the kids playing or the game.

Thanks for your reply.
