With rules application we need to "get it right" and by the book states that we can't set aside rules so I'm all in favor of getting together to "get it right". But with judgement who's to say where we draw the line? Yes, some "judgements" are better than others and some are waaay less than others - live with it! If your partner's comfortable in explaining to the coach why he had a whistle, let him gain the experience, if not, rotate him out away and move on!
While I agree, it's not always as easy as you seem to make it.

Suppose your partner calls a personal foul, and you see that there's no contact at all. Do you go in becuase it's a rules issue or leave it because it's a judgment issue?

On the two plays presented here ("double dribble" and "BC"), I agree that they can often and should often be corrected, based on the information presented. But, it's not clear to me where (or at least how to explain where) to draw the line.
