The question you have to ask yourself is, "what choice do I have?" Are we going to stand there in the corner and argue about the call? Is one of the officials going to simply keep the ball and refuse to continue the game? No.

You can make your case strongly. You can say "I know this is the rule. . ." or some people suggest saying, "I will take full responsibility for this call." You can certainly try -- briefly -- to convince your partner that he or she is not correct.

But at some point, if you recognize that you cannot win this battle, you have to allow the game to continue and then beat the other guy up in the locker room.
