Pretty crummy time to start enforcing the rule if it wasn't enforced earlier in the tournament. What I very much dislike is the appearance that someone other than the uniformed officials made the ruling and enforced the penaly. "When discovered" in this case could have been at halftime just as easily as when it was.

Agreed on both points here. I would have been likely to tell the administrator that I wasn't going to enforce it at this point and if he wanted it enforced, he could go and get his stripes on and finish the game for me.

Right call, WRONG TIME!!

And I do not believe he would do it then. Because he likely would not work the rest of the game or his career would be marred by that incident. Bravado is all that is.

Feel like this reaction/response is taking a situation to MACH 1 for no good reason...and a stand that would be ultimately pointless if one your partner(s) called the T himself.
