I agree. I had two games where I was not the R this season and the R made a crucial bad call/decision in both of those games (not the same R). These were decisions that could change the outcome of the game so I stepped in and corrected it. They didn't like it but I had the rule book to back me up. Whether I am the R or U (U1 or U2) in a game, my theory is once the jump ball is over, we are equals on the floor and it is our responsibility to get the calls right. If someone needs to correct me then they need to do that - I am human, I am going to miss a call now and then. This "pride" thing is for the birds
