So, now I've got a question. When is it okay for the one ref to "step in" and give the partner a "chance to change their call"? I've gotten the feeling this was never okay on a foul, virtually never on a violation, and once a game total would be about the maximum. Is that a fair reading?
I'd say in general you're right, but only because this should only be needed that often. This play, in which the L made a call he shouldn't have even seen, is one that should be changed. A correlation would be that if I'm calling my partners line regularly, I should expect to get regular counsel from her.
