Rita, just a suggestion but I probably would not do this. Raising your hand and blowing the whistle brings unnecessary attetnion to the situation. That's why the player made the statement he did.
OK, so do I just then put up my hand to get my partner's attention? I didn't want him to put the ball back in play while my attention was diverted.

And it was girl's basketball. I also know the player. I don't doubt she was embarrassed by her coach's action.

The whistle was surely enough... and it would have been better if you could have done it without the whistle - less attention, less embarassment; like during the previous three second before you needed to blow your whistle to stop your partner.

(This is given that you and your partner have agreed in your pregame to not put the ball in play without first making eye contact.)

Coach your girls. Quit trying to coach me.
