I've been told by this year's boss that we're *all* referees on the court (should be fun if we ever have a dispute on a last second shot) and told by the boss last year that any official has the authority to forfeit the game if circumstances warrant.

Then that works.

But honestly Mark, you have an opportunity to grow as an official if you can walk away from some of these types of situations. If it has to happen, fine. But it would be better if your partners would step in and shoulder some of the burden.
