Why? Either he deserved the T for this particular action or he didn't. By thinking you wouldn't call it if you think he already had one he "didn't deserve" you are engaging in "make-up calls."

Did you also not call any travels because you thought your partner called one incorrectly earlier?

Of course I know the difference in severity between calling a travel and a technical that results in ejection, but the basic principle remains the same. Do not make "make-up calls" and let each call stand on its own merit.

The player's actions, not yours, must be the determining factor in how the outcome of the game is decided.
