Juulie, the only thing I can add to Mick, Chuck, and Dan's comments is that pehaps your partner did not "fix" the call because he (or she) believed it would only make things worse - whether that be upsetting a coach or damaging your credibility or the crew's integrity...example: three-person game with very new official...I am T, new partner is L...play on my sideline and we have double whistle - I have fist up for a foul, but new partner comes out hammering an oob call and pointing the other direction...my choices: 1)go to partner and tell her that it's my call and I am calling the foul - which would make her look foolish to everyone there and probably cause her to go into the tank...or 2)turn and run down the court and take heat from coach who lost the ball - but it's me talking with coach, not new partner...I choose #2...perhaps your partner choose not to "fix" your call because he didn't want to cause more problems that leaving it alone would cause...geez - that's pretty long-winded for me...sorry about that!
