basket good?

[daves]

I had a situation in tonight's game. A player is fouled in the act of shooting. I am the lead and I make the foul call. I clearly see that the basket is no good. As I go over to report, my partner(trail) verbalizes and signals count the basket. Now, I'm wondering, "are my eyes playing tricks on me?" Since he's trail it is his call to count the bucket. I report, "count the basket, shoot 1." The folks at the table inform me that the ball didn't go in. At this point my partner changes his mind and says it didn't go in. The whole thing made us both look bad. How should I have handled this? Should I have ignored my partner and gone with what I knew was right?
