This is not a correctable error situation so the number of dead balls between when it happened and when you are trying to fix it is irrelevant...however, if you are 100% certain that you had the wrong number (ie you called the foul on a 5'10" red-head and reported it against a 6'8" african american kid) I would change this...the longer you go the less likely you are going to be to be 100% certain though so I would use caution here..curious how your partner is certain about who a foul was on in area four dead balls ago? If he realized at the time that you were making a mistake why didn't he correct you then? Also to your point about this being a "terrible mistake", take a poll of the people on this board who have made this "terrible mistake" and I'm guessing you'll get somewhere around 100% "yeahs".....BTW gotta love #28!
