Inadvertent Whistle?

It is generally accepted that a mistake (official blows whistle using the wrong line) can be taken back as an inadvertant whistle.

An official can reverse an out of bounds violation call (based on information from his/her partner).

Can an official reverse a travel or double dribble call ... I've never seen it done. Say the Trail is in the back court on a fast break and calls what appears from his view to be a double dribble. The Center/Lead who is in front of the play has a better view is 100% certain (perhaps along with the coaches) that the play was not a double dribble. Can the Center/Lead approach his/her partner and offer information that would allow them to change the call?

And are there any fouls where the call can be changed after the fact? I know you can upgrade to a Intentional/Flagrant after discussing with partners, but I can't think of any situation where you could reverse a foul call to a no call based on additional information.

Had one last night in a spring JV girls game: Double whistle, partner is signaling a travel while I have a fist up. We went with the foul as it happened first.

I've also had a partner whistle and signal a BC violation on a throwin play where the receiving player jumped from the FC to the BC and caught the ball in the air. As soon as he whistled it, he called me over to talk himself out of the call. He reversed it.
