You probably missed it, because you were too busy arguing with Afrosheen. That's a joke. They did change the backcourt call in this case. An official who may or may not have been in the correct position to see this, did see it, and conferred with his partner, and they got the call right. I think of that as an aspect of professionalism, you probably just think of it as good officiating, Either way, I think we're in agreement.

Last chance to keep this thread on track.

My read of that particular video is that the non-calling official approached the other official to ask him what he saw. I highly doubt that official was watching the play from 50 feet away; not at that level. Now, he obviously had the experience, and the built in respect from the calling official, to talk through the play on the spot.
