Im not defending anything I did or saying its something I normaly do, but everyone in the Gym knew it was white ball including my other partner. TOOT a little NBA hand slap and point in whites direction. did I botch this, should I have walked over and discussed it with him, is there a hybrid. anything to help me get beetter would by appreciated. no matter how you feel about it iff you have something in the officials manual that would be appreciated too.


PS alot of you guys call the pro league the NBE? what exactly does that stand for lol.

The rules state no official can "overrule" another. That's what you did. Go talk to him, tell him what you saw, and let him live or die with the result.
He may be older and slower, but I'll bet he's forgotten more about officiating than you can imagine.
