What a joke...
Jurassic,
Don't play games.
You claim that basketball officials never overrule a bad call. You said that includes FED and NCAA. I pointed out one very specific occasion where it happened in the NCAA Tourney last year.
Now, you say that it wasn't overruled, the other official came in and gave another persepctive indicating that his call was incorrect. Then the calling official changed the call, but it was not over ruled. This is semantics, not a court of law. When one official makes a bad call and another confers with him (maybe it takes just seconds, maybe longer) to contradict the call - AND IT IS CHANGED - it has been overruled. A ruling was made and it was turned over, thus...OVERRULED!
I have never once said that another official should come in to the play, call "Time" and say, "Nope, that's not the way I saw it. He's safe!" You know how it is handled and what I said. If you need to have it spelled out, then it's no wonder your name implies time gone by.
In baseball, if I see my partner make an error that is correctable, we get together and both relay the change to those involved. Sometimes, I have done it myself when the mistake was especially egregious. Other times, he insisted on explaining it himself.
Does that explain your comment and answer your question? I can't make it any more clear.
