Examples would be:

The gut reaction is to say "that's not my call," since it really isn't, but i don't feel comfortable "passing the buck" to my partner and it seems like it would make you look bad. At the same time, how could you comment on a play that you didn't see (or briefly saw and had a terrible look at)?
What would you guys do in this situation?
Thanks!

"Coach, I cannot help you! You need to go to the gentleman who made the call. He is the only one that you can talk to."
This is not passing the buck, this is directing the coach properly. Only the umpire that made the call can discuss the call with the manager. Now if my partner, needs help, he will come to me -
alone (in other words, without the coach)! This is discussed in the pre-game so there shouldn't be a problem.
