Next FT is missed, visiting team wins by three.
Postgame partner says "I hated making that call, and such a nice kid too".
The home coach sends a nasty email to our convenor blaming "the refs".
My question: What is the best course of action in this situation as it unfolds. Obviously standing at lead, mouth agape does not reverse partner's call (whoops). Is bearhugging partner and demanding he invent a reason to overrule himself the right move?
More generally... besides OOB and backcourt what calls are reversible if partner is new or "goofy"? Other overrules I have seen
basket interference -> T for hanging on rim
common foul -> intentional (excessive contact) foul

Why would you even think of reversing your partner's call?
The FT shooter having a foot
on the line IS a violation. Are you saying that your partner should have ignored the violation?
Btw, you can
never overrule your partner. The rules don't allow it. Only the official making a call can change his call.
