When to over-rule?

Rev, your partner came to you because he needed help on the play. His question was "What did you see?" By saying "I'm not gonna change your call" doesn't really answer that question in my opinion. I would of simply answered either "I'm have him in the act of shooting" or "I have it on the floor". If your partner doesn't need help and doesn't come to you then it is a different story. Then you want to come to him only if you are 100% that he had it wrong and you feel like it will help the game. Then you might come to him and say "Jim, I am 100% that he was in the act of shooting". From there it is up to him, he can change it or not. I have been taught that when a partner comes to you that you always take his advice. Well, maybe I shouldn't say always, I guess there could be a situation where you wouldn't but every time someone has come to me with info I have taken it and changed my call. Be careful about lining up players withour knowing for sure what your partner has. Because you can make your partner look really bad especially when he has it on the floor. When coaches see you line them up and the players ready to shoot free throws now he has it in his mind that it must of been shooting.
