Actually, his point is that the official in the OP made a call; he decided it wasn't a violation. Nevada's point is that you don't have to blow your whistle to make a call.

I agree. In this play, it might to a person well to trust his partner on this one. I have to problem telling a player, "my partner had a better look" if I'm asked politely. I'll say it to a coach, too.

I'll trust my partner on this before I'll trust myself from so far away. I've only made two good corrections on plays like this when my partner missed a call, and it was only information offering each time. "The defense tipped it to the BC" or "The rule allows the player to jump from the FC, catch the ball, and land in the BC on a throwin." I was lead on those, and that's what is meant by "get the call right."

"Get the call right" does not mean, IMO, come rushing in from 35 feet away and get a travel because you disagree with your partner.
