I think its very important not to embarress him publicly (think how you would like to have a mistake pointed out, probably why you waited until halftime) What makes you think you can "change the call?" You can't.
That is why I asked. I HAVE seen officials change officials calls but would NEVER want it done to me. I did my first three man game last week and quickly became very annoyed. My rules interpretor and assigner were on deck for the Varsity game. They were sitting front row in my ear most of the first half. Your the "C" close down a little, be patiant on transition. Don't get me wrong I LOVE the advise but my problem with that is that everyone in a 35 foot radius in the stands I'm sure was thinking I have no clue what I was doing!
