Mregor is right. Running in like the C official in the original post can only disturb the chemistry of a crew. If a partner doesn't look for help on a play where he has the angle, best stay out of it.
Had one last weekend where I was the lead in a press, so I stop at about half court. A-1 got trapped in the far corner from me, right in front of my partner. Ball gets loose, and B-1 grabs the ball and throws it off A-1's leg out of bounds. To me, it looks clearly to be B's ball. Partner signals for ball to go to A. In my mind, I thought she missed it, but I let it go because she didn't look for help.
Talked about it at half-time. B-1 was standing out of bounds when she grabbed the ball. I would have been wrong to jump in, and I would have made the wrong call.
