Illegal Forward Pass

[Old-Dawg]

Who's call should be talked about during the pre-game.

From my stand point you should never over-rule another officials judgment call. Get together and talk it over and let him/her pick up their own flag.

After you over-rule a fellow official enough don't be surprised if you have trouble getting them to drop a flag at all. I was sent out a couple of years ago to do an eval on some new officials. On one play an A player never came inside the numbers so the LJ (eight year veteran)dropped a flag. The WH came over and told him to pick it up that "We don't call that kind of cheap stuff." I was very sorry the following year when the LJ did not come back.

If it is a misapplication or interpation of a rule, over-ruling is fine and your responsibility but not your place to question their judgment on the field.
