Sure, you can get away with this sometimes so it isn't an absolute to say never do it, but in your case you didn't get away with it. I just don't think you should explain the call. Next, you will be explaining a T that someone else called. After that, more yelling occurs...in the official's locker room. Do you think the coach would have got the T without your explaination?

Didn't feel like I was explaining my partner's call. Like I said, I told the coach I didn't know whether player was there in time or not. But I did clearly see that the contact occurred with her player's foot OOB. The coach argued the rule itself and ended the converstion with "that's garbage" in conjunction with a visible wave-off. But I could be wrong in my perception on whether or not I was explaining my partner's call. JMO, but I think the coach was in search of a 'T' in that situation.
But there is no "Next, you will be explaining a T that someone else called." Never happened and never will. I'm very adept in telling coaches they are talking to the wrong official when they whine in my ear about a partner's call.
Also, not much chance of being yelled at in locker room...the advantages of being 6'5"/260lbs
