I'm not going to confirm his call (are you 100% sure?). If I ask him for the call, or he steps in and takes the call from me, then I'm going with what he has.

But from that point on, he owns that call. So if a coach questions me about it, I'm telling the coach, "You need to talk to him about it; not me." Particularly if he steps in to correct my call and I saw it clearly. I'm not going to argue with him about it; he needs to deal with the consequences.

That's why I rarely step in to correct a partner's call, unless it's very evident to me and virtually everyone in that building. And that's generally an OOB play that had no chance of being touched by anyone but the team he gave the ball to.
