Certainly possible, Juulie. But even if that's the way it happened, it was still Eric's partner's call to make. If Eric was sure that the call was incorrect, then he can go to the partner and tell him what he saw. But I hope he didn't make this OOB call (if that's even what it was) from the Trail position, and then get upset when his partner correctly made the call on his own line.

Eric, care to shed some light?
You're right, of course. I was thinking of my own experience where I would reflexively make a call that was technically not mine. Eric's situation is the hardest to get right, in my opinion -- it's completely anti-instinctive. Assuming the play was as you and I have been discussing it.
