Great points on all sides. Communication is very important in getting the call right it sounds like you two got together and decided the release was prior to the foul and the right call and ensuing activity were handled correctly. MTD says it well that the timing of the whistle and the actual foul are not simultaneous. The release of the ball before the foul is the important criteria. We are also a team out there and though we don't have the luxury of discussing all calls when they happen it sure helps to know your partner is there for you.
Josh to me philosophpy is my application of the rules based on my knowledge and experiences. They may differ from my partner but actual knowledge of a situation that makes a call right is knowledge that needs to be shared. Then if my partner wants to change his call based on that information that is his call to make.
