You were really only talking about this one play in the game. Was he consistently out of position the entire game? Did you have trouble with his mechanics the whole time?
Sounds like you handled the coach well by referring her back to your partner. That's about all you can do. You could call time and talk to your partner privately about the call and tell him that you have more information. I would not reccommend this, however, because it may appear that you are trying to show up your partner.
Unfortunately, we all have to work with less than adequate partners from time to time. All you can do is your job to the best of your ability and hope like he** that nothing screwy happens.

This play was the only one that I think he missed big-time. He had a couple iffer, but they were really close.
He wasn't completely out of position all the time, but he took angles I wouldn't recommend:
1. Not getting inside diamond on fly balls (any fly balls).
2. Not getting 90 degree on first base calls.
3. Not following runners into bases...stood near circle and called it from there.
4. Etc. Bunch of little things.
