His notes deal with who called/no-called what, from which position, at what time, with video refernce of the game. I understand that is the procedure for each NBA team.

Yes. And?

I was referring to Adam's statement that he would have a good chat with the Lead, Dick Bavetta, in the locker room, and to the probability that this play, in the officials' video review of the game, would require a response.

Well, it would have helped to quote Adam's post rather than mine in that case. It would have made a whole lot more sense.

Thanks, Cameron. The NBA protocol of post-game video review, would involve seeing the play, and foment a discussion among the crew. As we've discussed on other threads, sometimes, the discussion of a particular
play - call/no-call - by a partner, is best after the game.
Adam's subsequent post is much clearer than my crytic entry.

I wasn't very clear. I would, in one of my games, have a chat with the calling official to find out what he saw.

If I was working with Bavetta, I wouldn't worry about it because I'd assume he saw something I missed.

In this situation, in the NBA, I wouldn't worry about it because I'd know there would be a review later anyway. No point in either a) piling on, or b) putting my foot in my mouth.
