That foul had better be a smack to the head or a flagrant 1 or 2 for an official to conduct himself like that. Then again we would have to ask why he simply doesn't put a whistle on the play when he observes it. If he is going to be looking there, then call there instead of trying to stay out of it until something he doesn't like occurs. In my opinion, the time for him to get involved had passed. He should have lived with and supported his partner's call.
How much should the official have been fined this time?

Honestly, as an assignor, I don't use Luckie for two games for being overbearing towards and embarrassing his partner.

People skills are important in this and Luckie didn't exhibit any in that situation.

His partner wasn't embarrassed.

This...is a two game suspension for you?

Perhaps a talking to, but a two game suspension is over the top. You know it, and we all know it...this is nowhere close to worthy of losing any games...not in the real world.
