You mean, what do I think about calling a new rule the way that the Coordinator of Men's Basketball is adamant about calling it? Duh. Of course it's the right call. (As long as it happened the way you describe it.) Elbow to the head is a MINIMUM of intentional foul this year. It's not up for debate.

2) What do you think of the way things transpired?

I think the CC acted like a complete jerk. You have a new rule, and a video that everyone has seen that tells you exactly how to call it. And you have a partner telling you not to call it that way.

3) What would you do?

I would tell the CC (in the locker room) that I respectfully disagree with his approach. I would email the assignor immediately following the game and describe the situation and the call and ask if he thought I handled it correctly and if not, how he would suggest handling it in the future. Then I would continue to call it correctly in the future.
