Bad Partner

[HokiePaul]

That's awful. I wish we could tell what the discussion was between officials, but I think I would have:

1) Attempted to figure out what the call was (it looks like the lead did this)
2) Explain to my partner that it was my call, his call was incorrect, and that it needed to be reversed -- Pull in the coaches and explain --"The 5 second count was incorrectly started and as a result there was no violation -- it's Black ball for the throw-in"
3) If my partner refused to reverse, I'd tell him that his call is wrong but I'm not going to cause a scene arguing. I'd tell him that he needs to go administer the throw in himself.

And of course I'd be calling the assignor after the game.
