I don't say anything when I think my partner has missed a call and I expect him to do me likewise. If I had a partner overrule a judgement call, or try to overrule a judgement call, we would have an on field discussion to get the call right, ie get it back to what I called. I would not go ballistic on him. Then we would discuss again post game, and I would try to avoid working with him in the future. Given that assignments happen, if I had him again, we would go over this subject again in pre-game.
I don't mind asking my partner for help, if I know he has a better angle and is watching the play, such as for plays at first with nobody on base. But I try to get a good angle and make 98% of the calls I am supposed to make. If I am PU I come up the line to help, if requested, if I am BU I expect my partner to be there for me if needed.
