If you're in the field this is not a discussion you should be having with the coach. It was your partner's call, therefore his explanation. I'd reserve any discussion with HIM for after the game, and then you bet I'd be having that discussion (why did you call what you did, and how did you explain your call to that coach?).
As field umpire it's not your position to try to explain your partner's call or no call. I have no idea in some plays why my partner makes the call he does, and I'm surely not going to try to explain what I don't know for 100% certainty. What happens if you disagree with his call from your vantage point - are you still going to try to explain his call to a coach? That's waaay out of my league...
