If necessary, they can. Usually, when two experienced officials have a fist in the air the communication consists of one walking away, thus yielding to the other.

In the case ruling bob cited, you're saying the officials telepathically knew they that one was calling a PC and the other a Block?

No, I'm saying that no matter how they knew they have the right to confer. If you don't know, and the call is uncertain, ask:
"What have you got?"
Worst case scenario is this: I'm the L. I call/rule/signal a blocking foul near the corner. The call was obvious. The defender's own coach is screaming at him. I start toward the table to report. I see my rookie partner, who was the C, peering across the lane with one fist in the air and the other hand behind his head. But now we have no choice but to report his foul as well.
