If you thought that the foul was intentional,you should have gone to your partner BEFORE he reported the foul.Let him know what you saw on the play,and give him your thoughts.You both had a foul,but you had different types of fouls-so together you have to decide whose call it should be.It's usually the trail's call on the press if it's in his primary.Neither official can ever over-rule the other,so you guys have to decide what the call is gonna end up being.

JV Boys tonight; 2-man. I'm Trail.
A 3/4 court pass ended up 6' in front of my partner where A1 and B1 were going after the previously tipped pass.

There was some incidental contact, and then I saw (65' away) B1 (behind) grab A1's arm and hold and twist a little too much. Partner called foul on B1. I did not blow my Fox cuz he was there and had something.
While he settled the players, I jogged up and suggested, "If you've got an Intentional, I'll back you." He said "No, just a paeronal foul."
Well, nothing escalated, so I guess the common foul was good nuff.
