What do you think?

I'm going to ask someone else in the association and see.

I've been officiating for 11 years now. I'd like to think I've developed a good sense of game management. If a coach is asking a reasonable question, he should get a reasonable answer. And I couldn't care less if this is pissing off the other coach. (My partner's excuse.) He'll get the same when it's his turn. (Especially when the call is in his favor!)

It would be interesting to know what your partner thought he was accomplishing, and why he thought that was more important than letting you take care of your own business. But just from your side of the story, I'd be pretty angry at the guy.
