Yeah - and being consistent is calling it a kick whenever it's intentional and not whenever it's not. Did you explain this to him?

Earlier in the conversation I had said, "We've got to call it as the rule says. That means if it's intentional, we call it, if it's not, we don't."

To which he responded with his "consistency" comment. It was clear he wasn't going to be out-argued so I just let him have the last word.
