We all have brain laspses and kick calls, sometimes out of our primary. If you were to do this to me resulting in embarassing me (or the other member of our crew if three person) count on me changing the call right back to the original call and embarassing you.
Also keep in mind that he hadn't yet reported the foul; I stopped him on his way to report and we discussed what we had. If he had even hinted at seeing any body contact (which from my angle would have been impossible) we'd have stuck with his call. Believe me I don't think overulling him helps him or me, but when it was so obvious to everyone that there was no contact, I'd rather get it right. (There was easily a foot or two between the shot blocker and the shooter; that's how obvious it was).
