This is not a judgment, but the awarding of the penalty, so it is the crews fault for not applying the rules correctly. It is both officials responsibilty to award the free throws as the rules state.
His "call" is the judgment of the foul. You must change the decision in this case. We are trained to get the call right.

On the court I was never 100% sure that the foul he called was the same one that I observed and chose not to call.

I'm still not 100% sure that we had the same thing.

He told me "team control" and his penalty (possession, no free throws) matched his label (team control) for the foul.

To paraphrase James Bond (Diamonds Are Forever, 1971), the collars and cuffs match.
