I said I talked to the R but he is refusing to listen. He said I knew that red #1 had nothing to do with Whtie #22. I told him he was right and that I have talked to the R. I said the R is adamant and rihgt, wrong, or indifferent Red #1 is diaqualified and he has to have him replaced in 30 sec.

Two wrongs don't make a right.
The R was wrong.
You were just as wrong in your comments to the coach. You basically stuck a knife in your partner's back. Never, ever tell a coach that he is right and your partner is wrong. EVER!
You need to keep any conversation with the coach short and sweet. You tell the coach that your partner made the call and it's over. Then walk away. Your job is to support your partner, not undermine him. You've already told your partner what you saw. If he chooses to ignore you, then that's his choice and problem- right or wrong.
