As a rule of thumb, motivated 2nd year officials know the letter of the rule(s) better than a large percentage of the vets.

I expect you will encounter this type of situation many times this season.

Take it for what it is. In the above sitch, its not a big deal. Think through, though, how you are going to handle some key point in a game this season, when things are on the line, and your more veteran partners are poised to go the wrong direction. (going A/P when it should be team last in control, or somesuch) How are you going to successfully slow things down, discuss, and 'get the play right'. Its gonna happen, so prepare for it.
