The question, partially to answer you Snaq, actually comes down to how would one handle what amounts to an unbending or 'rogue' ref in this or other similar scenario? It only adds an extra twist that partners have different experience levels. (Hey, there have been plenty of other wacky hypotheticals inquired about here before ...)

I'm still lost...you say the start of a quarter. If it's the 2nd you'd be going the same direction you went in the 1st quarter--how could either official forget? Same principle applies if it's the 4th quarter.

If it's the 3rd quarter quarter you're going the direction of the benches and opposite the direction you went in the first half.

So, the R pointed the wrong direction? He forgot which direction the teams went in the 1st quarter?

Not if it's football. Do football officials still get to shoot starter's pistols like in the olden days?

Check again.
Those were ender's pistols.

Also, remember that right or wrong the senior partner was R1. If he blew it it was his responsibility. Younger R2 brought it to his attention. His responsibility was then over.
