I would of simply answered either "I'm have him in the act of shooting" or "I have it on the floor". If your partner doesn't need help and doesn't come to you then it is a different story. Then you want to come to him only if you are 100% that he had it wrong and you feel like it will help the game. Then you might come to him and say "Jim, I am 100% that he was in the act of shooting".
Wow. Do you mean to say you would come in to offer new
information on a *foul* call? OOB, misapplication of rules,
that sort of thing, sure. But shooting vs nonshooting?

I don't know about that.
eroe didn't say he' come in to offer new information, only that he'd provide information when asked, as in the original play.
Wha? Here's the part that got my attention:

I might not be the brightest guy here but the way I read
this is eroe is advocating helping his partner on a
*shooting foul unasked*. In other words he's going to come
in to offer new information (that's PC-speak for over rule) on a foul call.

BTW, if asked I agree that you should offer something more
than "I'm not gonna change your call".
