Questioning Partner's Call

[Afrosheen]

I agree with your perspective wholeheartedly, JRutledge. I guess the factors that were at play during the game led me to making the decision of approaching my partner with the question that I had. Even though he responded contemptuously, I did not make it an issue, and came out of it supporting his call and giving his call more credibility as he "convinced" me with my own line where the player gained possession with one hand before going into the backcourt where he caught it with two hands.

And when we came together at the quarter, I told him that I did not intend to put him on the spot and try to overrule him, I just wanted to make sure he understood the rule where the backcourt violation only applies when the player has control before going to the backcourt. I thought that by apologizing and explaining myself to him that we put this behind us, but I guess that wasn't the case with the email I got.

Now, my intention with this thread is to better handle a situation where an official kicked a call and now being so hurt that I approached him, wants to pin me down and try to get one over me even after I apologized to him for how I approached him on his call.
