I disagree with this train of thought completely. In this case you saw the ball tipped by B but you still allowed a wrong call to be made. I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt my partners pride, but if I see something that is wrong, and I know its wrong, I will discreetly question his/her call. We OWE it to the teams that are playing to ensure that we get the calls right. That won't always happen, but when we know we saw something we can't pretend it didn't happen.

Just my two cents worth.

It's his call right in front of him. How am I supposed to know if someone didn't hit it right in front of him? I am trail a whole lot farther from the play and it's his line. If he would have asked I would have gave him my input but I'm not going to make a big deal of it by stopping play. Disagree all you want, it's a semi-free world.
