Had a similar situation in a recent game.
I'm trail working the backcourt on a press. Lead is in good position to watch the play to help me out, since most of the players are in the vicinity of the ball (this wasn't great basketball, needless to say).
Team A works ball to a corner near midcourt and there's a tieup. I'm slightly behind the play, but closer than the lead, though lead probably has a better angle to see the play. We both blow whistles at the same time. My mistake was instantly calling a foul on Team B for grabbing the arm, while lead calls a held ball. We confer and both agree that lead had the better angle to see the whole play and call the held ball.
It never feels good to change a call, and I'll admit that I didn't use the best mechanics, but I feel we got the call right.
