Partner comes in and said TO explaining to me that she was facing him and he saw her signal and say TO but spit his whistle - then mine went off for the violation. We granted TO and gave the team the ball for throw in following the TO.

Sorry, first one to hit the whistle gets to make the call.
Seriously, I had a partner have this happen in a game earlier this year. It caused the crew some serious grief. My feeling is that mistakes happen and calls get missed during the course of a game. There is a point when it is too late.
