Incorrect spot by partner

Not that I've never made this mistake, but it happened yesterday and after asking our observer he said it's a tough one...

I am lead in 2 man. Ball just barely inside my area, partner reaches in for a foul I passed on- OK I'm not too concerned. He then spots the ball on my sideline and reports. As we switch, I'm thinking "that's the wrong spot, maybe he'll realize it and spot on the baseline".... Nope. Designated spot on sideline OOB. I let it go. Partner is second year cadet as am I.

I ask our observer afterwards. (didn't mention it to partner, which I should have). He said that's a tough one... he might have commuicated "Hey partner- sideline or baseline?" I told him that if it were a HS game, I would have pushed the proper spot b/c there is always someone watching, plus it's the correct spot. I also said that if it were a HS game with him or some other official several more years experienced than me, I was not gonna push it which might look like me making him look bad.

Whaddya do from my perspective?
