If the other official has new information to bring to the calling official then he should take it to him. Only very rarely might there be 2 whistles on an OOB, one case is when the ball goes out right at the corner. Maybe this was the case, if so the 2 officials should have gotten together to discuss which was the correct call. Of course if the ball's going out right at the corner and my partner has a whistle I aint pointing until we make eye contact. I like to think so, anyway.

Sooo...at which line did the ball go out?
It went out right at the corner. I'm sure from the angle the officials were at, it was very hard to judge. I happened to be sitting right at that corner. I agree the officials should have gotten together to make ensure the right call.
