Blue on roll. Cube Action?

I was playing blue in the Chicago Open Masters against well-recognized, very good player opponent.

When I did not recube this he said (at that moment) he was most surprised because he was dropping. I said 'you've got to be kidding me'. I thought he was jerking my chain but we ended up discussing it for minutes (he seemed deadly serious) and he had a kibbitzer go run it on Snowie -- which showed huge no redouble, huge take.

So, and God knows I have my moments, I guess anyone can get confused by any position at times.

(I did not redouble, took two off, and then opponent rolled nickels claiming the two points.)
