Partner comes with info

[JRutledge]

This should be a pregame issue most of all. And no you do not have to take his information, but I would not ignore it (and it was hard to discern in your OP what information was given at first). Some of this has to do with your trust level with your partner and some battles are not worth fighting. But it is not unusual to have a complete disagreement with a call and there is no one-size-fits-all model to resolve it. Some officials say who has the call in the primary, and others say where it came from gets the call. My question is why was this so important to the official?
