That's true, JR, but it doesn't apply here. This isn't about disagreeing with a call. This is about how to enforce the penalty.
For example, next season, you may be working with somebody who forgets about the team control foul rule. You call an illegal screen and tell your partner where the designated spot for the throw-in is. Your partner then comes to you and insists that you should shoot 1-and-1. There's no question about the foul; just about what should happen next.

JR's point still applies - it's the calling officials decision. If my partner comes to me with that info., I say "Thanks. but we're going right there." And away we go...not going to stand around and have a big, long discussion of what we should do next...

Right!
Somebody has to make a final decision, no matter
what the circumstances are. The only somebody that can make that final decision is the official who made the original call. And that somebody that made that final decision is the one who is gonna have to live or die with the decision that they end up making. Which is the way it should be. That way the evaluator knows that's s/he's screaming at the right person if the call does end up being screwed up.
