No, your partner can not over rule your call, only give you more info so you can change the call if warrented.
I only go to my partner automatically if I know the s/he is following the play. I've had partners come to me, PU, and ask about a pulled foot at 1st while I have runners going into 3rd and home. That makes you both look bad because he is announcing that he's not sure and you're in no position to help.
I get very few appeals because I announce why I made the call when I make the call if it's not routine. Safe! Pulled foot! or Out! She got control! At that point any appeal is useless because I've already ruled on what they want to appeal.
When I do get appeals, I have no problem going to my partner, while we strive for perfection (and we usually achieve it) we are human and may not see everything but the coach has to be specific, not "she was safe".
