If I called this travel with 5 seconds left in a tie game and my partner told me in the locker room after the game that he clearly saw it was deflected and choose not to come in and tell me I would be extremely upset. Step up and be a good partner and come to him. This is similar to an out of bounds call that is clearly missed. Obviously, we can not come to our partners every time we know a play is missed, such as a foul, but on this situation it can be worked out nice and clean. Don't let the losing coach hang his hat on this blown call and blast the officials in the press conference. If the play is overruled the coach it went against will be upset at first but will have nothing to say about it in the press conference because the replay will clearly show the ball was defelected by the defense. Use big picture officiating.
