Sounds like you and your partner didn't communicate well. When you're the new guy, don't assume you're always right. Ask questions. When I was starting, if I could tell a partner wasn't impressed with something I called, I'd go say, what did you think of...whatever it was. Then I'd Listen to what they have to say, if anything, and make a decision on whether or not I got it right. Sometimes I stood by my original call. Sometimes I got some food for thought that made me a better official. It's great to be confident in your ablities as an official, but there's always something new to learn or think about, no matter what level you work. Personally, that's why I enjoy it so much.
