Call what you see

[JRutledge]

First of all you cannot over-rule another official. You can only offer information that might make them decide what to call. It is possible that your partner saw something (on the travel) that you did not see.

What is important is for you to watch your area and only to look outside of your area when there are competitive match-ups not in your area. All officials cannot watch the ball all day, because there is a lot in the game of basketball with the other players. Trust your partner to call their game. I know if it was me and I called (like a travel) something and you come in and tell me to change it, there is almost no way I am changing the call. These are judgment calls, you cannot change judgment call. If there is a rule situation that is different, but you cannot change something that is a judgment call. You also are not going to make many friends "over-ruling" officials either.
