Rainmaker, if you decide to overrule this call made by your partner it would be best to let him go to the table and explain what happened. Now, it is more believable to the coach the call goes against. He believes that this was not one official taking over but that a team decision was made and even the calling official was convinced of a wrong call. This is similar to when a ball goes out of bounds and your partner gets it wrong. The proper procedure is to go to him and tell him the info you have and let him signal the change. A poor partner would blow his whistle and just point the other way and thus embarrass his partner and make it look like one official is dominating the other. Now, on your play if the official is a rookie and maybe does not feel comfortable going to the table then I agree you should go to the table. However, give him that option, because overrule situations always look better if the official who is overruled actually comes out with the change. It is more believable to the players and coaches as well.
