What ends up happening is that after a foul, when the crew is discussing, that sometimes calls are overturned. 2 reasons to overturn a call in our association: 1)the calling official "thought he saw" - if you "thought" you saw it, you didn't see it. 2) another official had a better view of the foul. I have primarily seen this type of call with a block in the back or a pass interference. The philosophy behind this mechanic is GET THE CALL RIGHT, even if you have to wave off a flag.

I disagree. And my disagreement has nothing to do with how good the officials I work with. We have a policy on our crew to not question judgment calls, especially based on what we "think" happen. If any information is going to be given, you BETTER KNOW WHAT HAPPEN! You better know the ball was tipped. You better know the ball was loose. You better know we are applying this penalty wrong. Not a guess, ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE. Same goes for any sport I have worked.
