Correcting your own call

The R comes to me to communicate that actually, two players from Team A were fighting for the ball. I told him, in that case, I have no problem changing my call to an inadvertant whistle. The R says I shouldn't, because I already signaled the held ball. He's the R, so I relent and stick with my call. Team B's ball.

If he thought you shouldn't change it, why in the world would he feel the need to come tell you about it at that time?

That was my first reaction when I read the OP. If he's 100% sure it was 2 players from the same team and you aren't 100%, then get it right.
