Wha??? HUH???

Prolly need to tell him to shut his pie hole and when he gets into the game, he can call it any way he pleases.

He should know better than to talk unsolicited to the refs during a game. He's table support - he has his own job to do. If he wants to talk after the game fine, but you made a call and you really don't need someone else making the whole crew look like a bunch of idiots. Then you get people questioning every call - asking "are you sure about that? Maybe you shold ask the table.".

Situations like that tick me off - bringing crap into the game.

Had something similar just last night in a kids 6th grade game. White vs. Black. White gets the opening tip. About a minute later we have a held ball. I declare black ball. The scorer beckons toward me to come over. He says he has white ball. I tell him white got the opening tip and this is the first held ball since then, so it has to be black ball. He tells me he thought black got the opening tip. I told him there's a simple explanation for that. He asked what it was. I replied, "You're wrong". He just shrugged and we didn't have any problems after that.
