I'm Trail and my partner at lead. Free throw. I blow the whistle when it did not hit rim (second shot). Partner stands there and yells, "no, it hit." I wanted to choke him. We got through it.
I don't overrule my partners in thier area. If I am that sure and think that my partner made a choice (i.e. had to call it one way or another) and that the call is wrong and going to affect the game, I'll hit my whistle and come to him. Ask if he needs any help on that call. He knows I'll only do that if I am absolutely sure. Otherwise, he'll tell me no and stick with his call or take my advise. Either way, it's his call (ref or ump, makes no difference to us.)
In our games (regular partner), we do not overrule. Primary either changes the call himself (with his new information) or keeps it. No over ruling.
