The T waving off the shot may or may not be a mistake. He might not have saw the shot and he might not have had any buisness looking at the shot anyway. I think what JRUT is trying to say is, if we are going to constantly question calls our partners make then it can take away from our trust, crew concept, flow and authority. If we are honest then we would realize that this happens all the time. If someone had a game where they didn't at least raise an eyebrow due to a call by one of their partners then that is good. Not impossible but good. So, do we question every call they make?
We might not have enough information from the original post to picture this play but there are many reasons why we should leave this alone. Like JRUT said, the other official is getting paid too. He/she must be responsible to some extent and live or die with their calls. It seems like the official was sure enough about the call to wave the basket off. There have been times when I have made a similar call and looked to my partners for help with the shot. There have also been times where a play occured and although my whistle was late/slow I was sure about the call I made and where the ball was at the time the foul/violation occured.
I have heard some of the same things as JRUT was told from other D1 officials. If multiple men/women doing major college basketball say the same thing I would start to listen.
IMO
