Was this handled correctly?

3. By the book, no official can ever overrule a partner on a foul or violation call.

But just to humor you:...
Let's move my scenario to directly in front of the defending team's coach and say that he is going crazy about the travel and say that his team is up by 1 with 2 seconds left in the game.

(Picking nits) Unless we let them go in the wrong direction the whole game, this couldn't happen . . .
