I will approach him and verify his call, giving him the information needed to change his call. He will make the final choice.

There it is.

FWIW, I had one last year where my partner called a backcourt violation, when there was no team control in bounds. I approached him and gave him the info. He fixed it himself.

He will, but depending on the circumstances we might not continue until he makes the right choice.

I can be very convincing, especially with new guys.

Don't ask why. He will give you 90 reasons.
