No. Apparently I'm not one of the top 3 in our association of 400+. But I'm working on it.

I get what he said, but I'm still thinking about it. He's a big dog in the association. While it shouldn't matter, it still does.

While I can understand letting things go just a little bit in favor of a team getting shellacked... I can not justify what you were told here - to call a foul (or violation) where one doesn't exist.

Here's my question: Since he was the C, was he in position to call it late?

If he wants to do that then explain why he did it afterwards, especially as a senior guy, that's on him. As was mentioned before, if there hadn't been any problems up until that point there's no way for you to know there was going to be an issue.
