I have to disagree. It's the R's duty to take all the information into account, apply the rules and make a decision based on that rule. But it is L's (in this case U2) job to say if it was or wasn't a shot. R may be able to 'over rule' him but he shouldn't. He needs to trust his partner.

Dubby,all I'm saying is that if they disagree whether it was a shot or not,and thus whether the basket should have counted,the referee is gonna make the final decision.That's his job,and his job only.Do you disagree with that?

That I agree with. In your earlier post I thought you meant that it was his call without taking input from his partners. I think we're on the same page. Either way I hope I never have to deal with that situation!
