On a violation, when to go get it, when not to?

I am more likely to help out in 2-man than in 3-man. But for your particular play here is what got you in trouble:

I would say that you yourself did not have as clean of a look as you thought you did.

But in the end, not a big deal. A lesson learned.

I called an double-dribble in front of my partner in a Rec game the other night. When I talked to him about it he said the player had got fouled but he hadn't whistled it. He should have called a foul, but also, I guess I should have left it alone and let him deal with any repercussions.
