What would you do?

I tell you one thing, I would bet a game check that no matter how it is fixed up the OP was ballwatching and doing it the whole game. I know it is a hard thing for some to admit, but it happens way more than people want to talk about.

I agree with this tomegun here. I agree that in the OP it sounded like they got things right because this was a pretty obvious mistake. My problem is that if you are getting that far out of your area, are you getting a good look at what happened? Maybe there was something you didn't see? Maybe you thought you saw something that wasn't really there? Last night I worked a couple of smooth JV games with a relatively new official. He made one call in my area (I was L, he was T) and he was completely wrong. He called a foul on a shooter that just simply wasn't there. It was a good, clean block. I didn't say anything because judging by the look on his face as he called the foul, he knew he called a phantom, but my point is that it better be REALLY obvious to go change a partner's call from that far away.
