Eli, what if your parnter just flat misses the call. He had the wrong pivot foot, for example. Are you still going to him and tell him the player didn't travel? According to the posts here, there wouldn't be any difference.

This apples to oranges. What if they came to you and said, "That wasn't a charge, it was a block."? What are you going to do? There is a difference.

Basketball Ref, as I stated earlier, coming to your partners cannot be done on every judgement situation. In my opinion this is a nice clean situation where it can be done. I have done it and seen it done in games before and the players and coaches buy it, just like they buy a change of an out of bounds call. If you come to your partner about a missed foul or that you believe a player's pivot foot did not move coaches and players will not buy this and this could be done on several calls throughout the game. However, this situation, where an official calls a travel and the other official is 100% sure that the ball was deflected by the defense is something that happens rarely. Well, let me say it happens rarely in the pro game and DI. However, it might happen more in high school or rec ball and maybe you don't feel this should be done in those situations and your probably right. Please don't take those last couple sentences to be degrading to high school basketball or rec ball. On block/charge situations we are taught to come to our partner if it involves him or her missing it due to the restricted area because this can be done nice and clean. However, if the restricted area is not involved I cannot come to my partner because people will not buy this change and it cannot be done nice and clean.
