The reason that 3 person works so much better than 2 person is that we have 3 sets of eyes and the have a specified area that they are responsible for, not that 2 person doesn't but there is far less overlap in 3 person. That is the black and white of the issue. There are situations where each official has a secondary responsibility and we all have a chance to come in and get something BIG, thereby saving the crew. i.e. T coming in with a travel in the post, C coming in with a foul when the post spins toward them and away from the L, C getting a block/charge/travel at half court with back court pressure, etc.
This situation, in my opinion, does not sound like one of those times. Especially if the T was tableside and was able to communicate with the bench.
A couple of questions I always ask my partners are; Do you still feel good about that call? and Did we need to have that as a crew? I try not to be negative but I still hope that gets my point across.
