Make sure I knew this guy's name so I could inform the assignor not to put us together again.

So, him overruling your judgment on your call AFTER a conference and making the call anyway was OK, but telling the coach the obvious (his call, talk to him) was throwing him under the bus? He actually expected you to defend his poaching of your call when you already told him you disagreed? Amazing.

At this point, probably just walk away and have that conversation with the assignor.

PS: This is taking him at this word that he is an 8 year veteran. If he was a rookie, I'd have a discussion with him about who has what calls, about you can't overrule your partner's call, etc., assuming he just didn't know any better.
