So give the R the info before you leave the court. Let the R make the call.
You as the U have nothing to loose sleep over. You call your area- give information to partners and live with the crews decision. Let's face it 2 people can see the same thing and report it differently -be it angles- emotions- bad eyesight or a brain fart

It is up to the C to determine if a last-second try beats the buzzer. But the play was in the L's area (the original post said "on strong-side opposite center"). So if L agreed it was a try, it's the C's call, but if it wasn't a try, (as determined by the L as the action was in the L's area) then there is nothing for the C to rule on. I still think (I can't back it up) that this is the L's call. Get the partners back out on the floor without leaving yourself, tell them what you have, and take care of business.

Unless there was prior agreement this is the C's call because he's opposite the table. Of course anyone can offer information that might influence him to change the call, but he made the call & he owns it. Generally in the case of a disagreement, or no evidence to support a ruling (time back on clock, for instance?) the R has the final say. In this case the L goes to the C (who happens to also be the R) with new information but he cannot over rule the C. If the C left the floor the L needs to get him back to discuss. If the C was right the L owes him a lifetime of gratitude.
