Personally, I would have no problem going over to my partner and asking for help. If he/she said I got it right, no sweat. We inbound and go. If he/she said it was from a throw-in, I just go tell both coaches briefly and we give the ball back to team A. IMHO, you gain credibility by getting it right. Not only that, most coaches don't know the rule and it wouldn't hurt to educate them anyway.

Z, I'm with you on this. You've blown your whistle, the balls dead, ain't no one going anywhere. Get the call right. Go to your partner (hopefully he can help out) confer, get the right call. And as Z said, quick explanation to coaches and get the ball back in play. As everyone has indicated: "It happens". What you want to always do is learn from "it" when "it happens".
