I approached him immediately after he called it and asked him subtly why he blew the whistle. He explained confidently the scenario was illegal. I walked away and play resumed.I did not want to make a big deal of it, especially during the game. We discussed the play later. I showed him case play 7.1.1 but he was not at all convinced.He wrote "correct me" in an email and the challenge was on! We finally agreed on the scenario and I posted it. This post was to hopefully convince him the play was legal.

I was confident I was right because I posted a similar question here in 2010.

My partner has been very helpful to me over the years and I appreciate his help. I try to learn from my mistakes on the court.

All too many people make the mistake your partner made.
