I think iref4him handled it beautifully.
Quite simply, if my partner so
obviously misapplies a rule (such as calling a travel while the player is dribbling) in the closing seconds of a 1 point game and I know it, you can bet that we're going to deal with it right then and there....and I'd hope that if I had such goof up, I'd have partner with enough guts to do the right thing.
Forget about who's primary it was in. Our first priority is to call the game. Primaries and mechanics are just a guide to enable us to cover to floor most effectively most of the time. A call like this is far more of an outrage then helping out your partner by knowing what was going on outside your primary. I'm not talking about judgement situations, nor am I talking about overruling a partner....they get to change their call.
