He gets mad and tells AD its not detracting from his calls. AD walks out. Would u say something or let it go? IMO....he made us both look bad.

Are you in an aarea where an Assignor gives you your games, or do you contract with the AD?

If you have an Assignor - let him/her know about this asap - before the AD calls and telss him/her.

If you contract with the AD, don't worry about it - they won't be calling him anymore.
