This summer at camp we had a similar "change" situation and we were actually criticized for getting together and talking about it.
Here's the situation, I was C and a shot came off the rim. A1 has good boxout on B1 but B1 goes up and gets the ball for a tap and falls into A1 hard. I come in with a push, but didn't see the ball drop because I was watching the rebounding position. As soon as I call it my partners are asking if the bucket counts, and in a not so great moment of my officiating career I replied, "what bucket?". Anyway, my trail was a good official and when we conferred, we agreed that the tap should count because the contact occurred after the tap. Anyway, I understand about flow of the game and all, but what's wrong with making sure you get it right? To me that makes more sense as a partner than overruling him or getting overruled and having coaches and fans see an official as "wrong".
