I was trail, the guard drove the lane and went up. Ball was stuffed and not released, easy jump ball call. My partner calls a travel and sells it. The gym went nuts wanting a jump ball. I let him work out of it, and he later told me he thought the shooter jumped and changed his mind. He thought I could have shared that with him if I knew he was wrong, but I wasn't going to start second guessing him after he made his call and even told the coach what he saw. It sets a bad precedent.
Hmmm, this brings up a good "what if" question.

If I did this, and everyone in the gym saw it, and it was THAT wrong, I'm not sure I would have a big problem with my partner "helping me out". A quick conference (emphasis on the "quick" part), a whistle, and a reversal, seems to fall under the "do the right thing" banner.

Other thoughts?
