TigerBBall,
This is not, technically, a "correctable error." That term will solicit more of the same reaction from others. Also, "overrule" is a term we avoid, since we do not have the authority to overrule our partner, by rule. I can approach a partner and suggest he change a call, explain a rule, etc. But I cannot authoritatively overrule my partner.
Like it or not, 7th grade basketball is a learning experience for most refs, and perhaps these two have a history of working together and one knows his partner will not react well to public correction. Perhaps he feels he can best teach his partner by discussion afterwards. Perhaps, he's had this discussion before and knows the partner will not change his call.
Just some thoughts.
