less than a minute in the game, Team A is up by 5 and has the ball in FC. A1 just caught the ball. and my partner, who apparently doesn't know when to start or end a 5 second count, calls a 5 second violation on A1 who just call the ball. Team A's coach, who is up by 5, goes nuts!

I didn't overturn the call, because it wasn't my call. I did see it though. Should or could I have overturned the 5 second call?

If so, Team B's coach would go nuts. But, should I have done the right thing and returned the ball back to Team A and overturn my partners very, very bad call?
Did A2 have it for 5 seconds? Perhaps he had the call BEFORE the pass, but was a tad late with the whistle?

If it was a bad call, go to him and ask if he's sure? He may have just had a loss of focus and your question may bring him back and he can fix his call, but you should not overturn him, just give him the info and let him fix it.
