oc -- Right when the foul happen, did you look at your partner's eyes? That will tell you a lot. Where was he looking, and what was his angle?

Also, you need to consider what the general style is in your area. Over the course of this whole season, find out who are considered the very best refs in your association. Go and watch several of their games. See what they call and what they don't call. It may be that your group tend to let stuff like this go, "unless this or until that".

I think the best way to approach your partner later and discuss a situation is to be very cautious. You may not have seen it as well as you thought. "I thought I saw a pretty good bump right at 2 minutes when so-and-so did such-and-such. I almost called it, but I thought you had a pretty good view, so I passed. But did you see the handcheck around back?" Then you don't argue, just pack the whole thing in salt for future reference.
