A blatant rule misapplication and I'm going to get with my partner- that is, if I'm 100% sure I'm right and he's wrong!

A question of my partner's judgment and I'm holding back. Maybe he saw something I didn't see or his judgment is a little bit different than mine.

If I'm sure that I saw something he didn't see, I will discretely let him know that I have more information. Whether he chooses to avail himself of the opportunity to get that additional info, or what he does with it after I give it to him, is up to him.

I'll keep it discrete because I don't want to tip-off one of the coaches that there is a potential problem with the call. Doing so can add fuel to the fire and possibly lead the coach to arguing or appealling something that he didn't see happen in the first place, handng him an unfair advantage against his opponent.

By all rules and guidelines, I cannot change or overturn another umpire's call, so my options are limited. I cannot step all over one of his judgment calls, and I hope that he would would take the same approach with mine.
