You have got to be kidding me?

Unfortunately, no I'm not.
But I took the hit because I knew the rule & didn't insist on doing it right.
The positive part of this is that we all own that particular rule now!

I have a supervisor who would have ripped you a new one for allowing your partner to kick a rule, especially if you are a more veteran official.

Same here... for the record, I did provide the info & realized that he wasn't going to give in. No need to cause a big delay in a National Tournament! Fortunately for the crew it was an off season contest & the IC did not affect the outcome of the game.

The calling official was the veteran on the crew.

I thought the situation provided me with an opportunity to share with my mentee:
1. How to provide information to a partner.
2. How to know who you're dealing with and either defer to the vet (if its not a gamer) or use the phrase that pays if necessary.
3. How to follow up the next day with a non confrontational email with a rules support.
