Good Look ?

Would anyone on this Forum suggest that the noncalling official walk over to the calling official and ask him or her "Did you get a good look at that?". If the answer is "Yes", then walk away. If the answer is "No", then discuss it for a few seconds. I'm not suggesting that the noncalling official change the calling official's call, but simply give him or her some information. Maybe, after the information is given, the calling official might want to change their call. I know that this approach is occassionally followed on some out of bounds calls, especially those in which the ball may be slightly tipped. Isn't it important that the two officials, working as a team, get the call right, even if it means communicating information to each other, allowing the calling official to change their mind? This approach should probably be used very rarely, no more than once or twice a season.
