Yeah, I hear you and talked with the varsity refs after the game about it (after my partner left).

I was honestly waiting for my partner to do something about it. I falsely assumed that he, you know, had a spine.

Once I figured out he was not going to back me up, I made the determination that the next time I was in legitimate position to get him, I would. The second T was that opportunity.

A word of caution: Be careful about glorifying this call, in your own mind, or especially if describing it to others. Sounds like this coach wrote his own ticket, so nobody should have a problem with what you did. But if you refer to waiting for an "opportunity" to "get him," it could be misconstrued.

Good point. Thanks.
