Partner Problem

[PublicBJ]

*snip* ...we disagree, but I'm the Referee, he's the umpire, so I go to the table and say, (both coaches hear me) "The basket is good, he didn't step over until the ball was in." The defending coach says, "You can't overrule him!!" I say, "Coach, I didn't overrule him. We disagreed about the call, I'm the Head Ref, and I have to decide."

This is not a trick I would try on a regular basis. Pulling a "head ref" statement will not make you many referee friends.

I agree with the earlier statement made that I would either: a) get with my partner and encourage him to change his call himself; or b) let him hang from his own stupid call, and chew him out for it in private later.
