If he didn't like it, too bad. It wasn't his decision to make in the first place.

I could have done that. I chose not to.

As stated before, his contention was that it hit the back of the backboard. I would have hated to have our post game conversation during the game in front of coaches and fans. I felt silly enough arguing it in the locker rooom. I'm sure there is some old saying about arguing with an idiot that applies here, but I can't think of it now.

Oddly enough, no one made a single complaint (except me) about the call. Not even our other partner. Our partner that night took the Sgt Schultz position during post game.
