Coming in on partners call

Can't remember game this weekend, might have been Pittsburgh/Xavier. A1 passes to A2 near C on sideline. It is clearly off of A2 as B1 has the C screened. C blows and gives ball to A, thinking B tipped it. Lead comes running over, gives info and C changes his call, B's ball.

It clearly was right call yet it was right in front of A coach who went ballistic.

I've had a two day discussion with ref friend, who along with two other refs on his trading floor, said they wouldn't come in to change it which I think is dead wrong, yet how far do we take this? This has been discussed in old threads and has some gray area to it. We've all seen from a far, a partners call that we just know is wrong and yet,at least I do, feel he saw something I didn't, even though I feel 100% about it. That said, the variables of the game,score, all come into play. I've told my friend in the past that I don't want him coming over, I'll live with my call. Of course I'm not doing a second round NCAA men's game on national television. Those that saw the play will probably agree the call needed to be changed as it was clearly obvious.

Obviously, it's been pregamed that if non-calling official is coming over, there is no doubt.

Curious on thoughts.
