I'm on the side that this is NOT a call. A call is when the whistle is blown. No official can overrule another's calls: violations and fouls. This is just indicating how much to score.

Consider the two points of view:
  1. I didn't see a foot on the line
  2. I saw the foot on the line


One is conclusive, one is not. If one official saw the foot on the line, it must be a 2.

I also agree that in general we shouldn't both be seeing this...but there are gray areas of the court (especially on transition).
