Remember in my case, the calling official actually was consulted by a partner and he chose to stick with his original decision. As it turned out the only way that an X was getting called on this particular play was for another official to have gone ahead and made the call right under this guy's nose. That's not something that I'm comfortable with doing.

I don't think that is necessarily true. If the T comes in from way in the backcourt, I'm probably not going to listen to him/her either...however, if my C - who was right there on top of the play also - comes running in with their fist in the air and tells me "Partner, I really think we need to go Intentional on this one" immediately, then there is a good chance I'm going with the Int. No one is over ruling anyone, and none of us are promoting that idea...
