Ratting out a fellow ref?

[Texas Aggie]

Silence cannot be quoted.

I agree. However, it sounds as if the AD had no intention of honestly reporting what was said, so if there is any response (and there will be because we don't just ignore comments from people we know), its just as likely to be misquoted.

I think what I would do in this instance is, instead of leave, go back to the room and tell the guys that you were asked what you thought, and how you responded. And the response should be something supportive or that you didn't see the whole play. Or, say, "that's just one of those things that happens," a comment, like "didn't see whole play," that means absolutely nothing.
