In the end though, this is totally up to your partner as to where to administer the throw in as he made the call.

It's not up to the partner to decide, by rule, the throw-in is at the spot nearest the foul, which in this case is the baseline. I don't have my books or I would give you the reference but somebody will find it. I know because I was doing it wrong for awhile, thinking it should be where the ball is, and it was brought to my attention so I looked it up and changed my ways.
