I will admit to a coach if I missed one. Juulie made a great comment in another thread that you can't do this too many times in the same game to the same coach, or you will lose all credibility.
I will never, ever, tell a player, or coach that my partner missed one. Even if everyone in the gym knows it was wrong -- I'll stand by my crew. Now when we get to the locker room, we may have a conversation that starts with "what did you see on that play?" And then talk about factors that could have helped get it right; positioning, hustle, more patient whistle, trusting partner, letting the whole play develop, etc.
When a player asks me about a partners call, my response is most generally to announce the penalty or disposition of the ball, "Two shots" or "white underneath." There may be an appropriate response for a very occassional situation, but it would be very rare -- in my opinion.
