Good communication, perhaps, but I'm wondering where the Lead was when he saw the deflection? If the dribbler was in the front court, I assume (?) the Lead was near the baseline, or at least getting close to that area. If so, he probably shouldn't have been looking that far out, with you right on the play. And if he WAS near the baseline, even if he saw the deflection I don't think I'd want MY partner coming out to me to inform me of a deflection. Let me "eat" the call if I'm wrong. But . . . it depends a lot on where he was and where/how the ball was deflected. Nothing wrong with coming up to me to communicate, as long as he lets ME make the final call and doesn't "take over" the call.
