It is easy to look back and know you should have done something, and maybe you will do it different next time, but don't beat yourself up about it now. Anytime you can help out a fellow official, by telling a coach "I saw it too, coach, and we got it right," or "I agree with him," is a good thing.

Another good thing to say to a coach is "how did you see it," if he gives you an explanation that would be a foul, say "if it happened like that we probably missed it." They like communication, like to know you will listen, and value there opinion.

I will help out my wings if it is getting out of control, but do not want to "infringe" on them either. For some reason, however, if the white hat goes over, the coaches seem to calm down.
