As a fledgling first year I have had a few instances that seem appropriate. Here are two that contrast:
1)In a girls JV game, I'm lead on an a endline inbounds play in the back court.
My partner is at one end, and I am at the other. No press.
Ball is inbounded, player is dribbling the ball in the back court towards the front court. Partner is practically parallel to the dribbler, looking up the court. For some strange girl-jv-player-brain-fart reason, dribbler picks up her dribble, starts dribbling again, then gets all flustered. Partner is oblivious. I blow my whistle from 70 feet away. Partner was just distracted, looking at the clock, whatever. He had no reason to believe this player would screw things up.
It had to be called.

Since you were ball-watching, maybe your partner was
off-ball watching. Maybe he knew you would be looking into the backcourt so he was looking down into the paint to make sure no one was getting mugged?
