In terms of fouls, you have to call what you see, you can't make up for your partners mistakes. I think what people are talking about when they talk about consistency are more along the lines of violations. Are you both going to call hand checks, are you both going to call the offense for using their forearm to guard the ball, are you both going to call the carry the same way? Those types of things need to be consistant or you are putting teams at a very big disadvantage by not letting them know what they can and cannot do.
The only foul situation that I would see needs consistency would be the charge or player control fouls. There are still some refs out there that won't call a charge or pcf under the basket, some will. That is something that needs to be consistant so player know where they can set up to get that call. They shouldn't have to look back to see which ref is back before they set up.
