You could argue that making the 2nd call is more important because he's already alerted the coach that it's illegal.

I agree Snaq, while I don't agree with it, if it's what he's being asked to do, then there's not much he can do.
Just something that I try to do anytime I make a call such as the violation called here is, after I communicate the nature of the violation to the coach, to have a brief word with my partner. I might say something like, "I just explained to the coach that they can't do X, so let's just make sure we watch for it." You're not talking down the them in any way, you've explained a rule to them, you can start calling more in your primary and less in your partners, and it only takes a second. It's a win-win situation I think.
Other than that fonzzy, I'd just reiterate what most of the guy around here have already said. Anytime a coach comes after you, do your best to get away. I've worked rec leagues and college intramurals, and I know that it can be hard, but just do the best you can.
