The calling official may have passed on a foul or some other action and awarded the ball to a team on purpose. We like to have the noncalling official come toward the calling official. If the calling official did what he did for a specific reason he will give the other official the stop sign, which turns that official around and returns him to his position. If the calling official allows the noncalling official to come to him, the call will almost always be changed BY THE CALLING OFFICIAL after receiving information he did not have or did not see.

Why do we have some many different ways to cover a simple procedure…blow your whistle and come offer the information you have...if you partner wants to change his/her call fine...if not fine. By not blowing your whistle both teams may already be at the other end of the floor and then your partner overturns his call and we have to gather up all 10 players and bring them back down to the right end of the court. Giving your partner the "stop sign" can give the appearance that you are not working as a team and that you are unapproachable.
