OR do you think the trail should have said nothing and just let the leads call stand? This is under the assumption that the trail saw the foul and deemed it non-intentional.

I'm ok if they go the other way, but I wouldn't really be all that appreciative if my partner came in and tried to talk me out of an intentional. I watched the replay a few times and really couldn't tell, but the official right there made very decisive and quick call on it.
