If it was a designated spot throw-in, then yes, it was a violation. The ball must be released directly onto the court. And the inbounder must keep one foot on or over the three-foot wide designated spot until the ball is released.
Furthermore, only one player is allowed out-of-bounds on a spot throw in, and the ball must be released directly onto the court. So you've got three different violations in one little pass.

Did your partner SEE the yellow violation, and think that the throw-in violation happened first? Or is he just trying to be the alpha dog here?

Next time a partner comes in with a different opinion from yours, you can say, "I'm sure my call happened first" if you need to insist on being right. You only need to take your partner's information as helpful, if you want to change your call for whatever reason. If he gets too pushy, either change your call, or just get the ball inbounds, and then argue about it in the locker room.
