When you see a partner make a mistake do you correct it with them each time? Do you let certain things go? Some of his calls changed the momentum of the game.
Your job is easy since he requests help. Assist him during dead balls like you were doing.

I let most [99.99%] of my partner's calls go during a game, until/unless he requests assistance.

When a newer partner [of mine] is struggling, I will suggest getting together, at a local restauant or watering hole, to talk over things I noticed and questions that he may have, right after the game or during amother convenient time.
