That allows the calling official to correct their call. I have even gone so far as to tell my partners, "If you're coming to me with information, I'm probably changing my call even before you get to me", due to the fact I trust that my partner is sure of his/her information.

That's probably what happened here; Jamie was sure that Phil might've been too close and didn't see the whole play, so he came in with the info. Phil's probably saying "thanks" because he was probably the only one that didn't see it correctly.

Yup...........three pros working as one.
