Rut,
The baseball metaphor is not totally applicable, because, as you know, with argumentative baseball players it's very acceptable and usually expected to go to another umpire, while in hoops, though it is acceptable, it is not necessarily expected that you ask a partner.
Different strokes for different folks....

I think Dan got the essence of what I was trying to say overall.
But even in baseball, I am not going to my partner on many calls. I have to live and die with it because of where he is located and what was going on in his own area. You know if I was the base umpire and there is a play at second base with runners ahead of second coming home and the ball gets thrown to second base, that is my call all the way. My partner cannot help me on a tag or no tag sitaution. He just cannot.
Peace
