perhaps your partner choose not to "fix" your call because he didn't want to cause more problems that leaving it alone would cause...geez - that's pretty long-winded for me...sorry about that!

I expect you've got it. He was a very nice guy and a great partner, and a good ref. The whole thing was pretty much no big deal, except to me who still wants to be perfect (you'd think by 47 I'd start to realize the reality...) and the coach who saw the whole thing'better than I did.
Dan, if I'd been the least unsure, I'd have looked to my partner, but the sad part was I didn't even realize I'd blown it until later. Way later. Didn't even get to practice saying to the coach, "I may have blown that one, coach".
Oh, well, now I get to practice, "Live and learn!"
