Well to clarify, I didn't hear what my partner told him. At the time, all I knew is that he had complained to my partner. I was walking away from my partner at the time, and did not hear the exchange. It was only at halftime that I learned what was said. Sorry if that was unclear.
When he asked me, I intended to give a matter-of-fact answer. By definition, traveling means he took a step with his pivot foot. My answer was not inconsistent with my partners- given the way the player was driving the lane, the "third step" would have been with his pivot, and what triggered the call.
My answer also signaled to the coach, I think, that he wasn't getting anymore information from me.
I've been taught to answer a coach's question. I wonder what others think about deferring to your partner. Does that put him out there by himself?
