Player Control/Charge
I can just see it now...I come up strong with a player control foul (btw, my favorite mechanic) and my partner wants to change it! Are you kidding me? If I went over and changed every bad call I thought my partner made during the game, how would that make us look as a team? Remember, we are a team out there and sometimes we have to live and die with our partners calls. It's not just how we "look" either. It's how we make the game look. It's our game management that is now under scrutiny.
Sure, there are some definite calls that can be changed, i.e. out of bounds, foot on the 3-point arc, rule interpretations, etc. but even these should be changed with discretion. Judgement calls, in my opinion, should not normally be changed.
NEWS FLASH: We are going to miss a call or two at some point during a game. Live with it, Learn from it...keep the game moving.
SIDENOTE: How would you like instant replay in Pro Basketball as there is in Pro Football? There are just to many calls in a basketball game...it all "evens" out in the end.
