I stand corrected. I will now direct my attention to how horrible this rule is.

Are you accusing Brad of hijacking the thread?

Last game of the season two years ago. It's 1A GV. Team A is 0-18, team B is 1-17 (guess where the 1 came from). The basketball is just awful, and to make matters worse we are working it two man because my partner seriously rolled his ankle in the JV game and couldn't officiate.

There is a group of 8-10 home fans positioned op bench at the mid court stripe one of which has decided he's going to be our 3rd official and call the game with us. He's calling out every foul and violation. He's not belligerent, just really helpful. He's also doing that thing where he's critiquing our officiating to other fans when we have dead balls near where he is sitting.

The end of 1st half ends with a buzzer beater attempt by the home team that I correctly waived off. Coming out for the 2nd half I know we are going to hear it. We walk over to our spot and I gave him the "whew" face and said "that last shot was close". He said "ohhh I didn't see it". I said "I'm surprised, you've seen everything else tonight".

Everyone's face (including my partner) just goes blank for a second, then all his friends bust out laughing. His wife tells me he won't shut up at home either.

Didn't hear a peep the rest of the night.

I don't think I want to imagine what the JV game looked like.

His partner saw what was coming and thought up an easy way to not have to do the varsity game. So he "rolled" his ankle

I agree -- I simply make sure that a kid changing his jersey (we had one blood incident) is reminded to go to the locker room to change. I also remind the coach.

I'd simply turn my back, but that might not go over so well with others.
