Everyone's jumping on you, and I agree with the content of what everyone is saying. But I also think I've probably beat up on partners worse than this, and I've been beat up on worse than this, too.
To answer your question, the way to handle this is the way someone handled your worst call in your first year. You step in and very,very quickly, ascertain what the call is, give the partner one good boost toward getting out of it, and then back your partner all the way to the dressing room. Even then don't jump on him, but let him know that generally this kind of thing doesn't get called in this situation. One of the hardest things for me has been to learn when to go "by the book" and when not to. There are quite a few rules that never, never get called, and quite a few that get very fuzzy very quickly out on the floor. Letting your partner know that this is one of those very fuzzy areas, and letting him know it very gently is the best way to handle it.
