No, you wouldn't do the samething if the T or C was in a great position to see it because they would have got it right.

You also wouldn't do it if it was real close. You do it if it's obvious that the other official was in a bad position to see it and obviously missed it.

It's about trust too. I know that if my other official changed it, they saw that I was in a tough spot and they had a great look at it. So there is never a reason to discuss this one.

That's it exactly - trust works both ways. Your partner trusts you to call your area, but you also trust your partner to come help you out if you get a call like this obviously wrong.

JR, you bring up the possibilty that two officials might disagree on the call, but couldn't that happen in other situations as well? It wouldn't be limited to just this 3-pt. vs. 2-pt. call, so if that were to happen it should be handled the same as any other disagreement.

Again, something to cover in pre-game.
