Changing your partner's call

If you think that I made an obvious error, hey, tell me about it. If I agree with you, or I'm not 100% confident of my original call, then I'll change that call. If I don't agree with you and I'm sure that I got it right, then I won't change my call. It's that simple. I'll live or die with what the films say then- which should be the right way to end up.

Only problem I see is when a team now loses by one point - they're not going to be too happy with the game film - they want the mis-called 2/3 to be changed immediately.

If you and your partners (or as an evaluator) want to come together as a crew and talk this over - fine. I tend to think the best thing to do is wipe off the one point, and move on. It gets is out of everyone's head quicker and gets the call right.
