I would be absolutely furious if my partner attempted to overrule me on a play like that and we'd definitely have words about it in the locker room later. The partner could have been unsure and come to you asking if you heard the timeout request, leaving the call to you. After the explanation of what you saw, he had no business doing what he did, but that's why if there's a confusion, the officials come together and the calling official changes the call if necessary. Also, it may have helped to try to sell the OOB call by emphatically pointing to the spot where the player stepped out. That could eliminate a lot of the confusion.
