Correct on this. They may not have thought to do it in the moment so some allowance can be made for the two of them. But they would have scored points with the clinicians had they done so.

The situations where it's needed to stick up for a fellow official can take many different forms. Both on and off the court. Recognizing those situations and then following through by standing up for a fellow official is important not only for the official you're standing up for but for officiating as a whole.
