The two scenarios would be:

1) Hold the whistle, Team A has ball about 70 feet from basket. Everything resets. You can tell coach B, "Sorry, coach. Didn't see who touched it last". If it was just totally obvious to everyone and you were the only guy in the gym who missed it, your partner could kill it and tell you what he saw.

2) Blow the whistle. Talk to partner. Partner either overturns call or says he/she didn't see it either. In the latter, you have to tell coach A, "Sorry, coach. Didn't see who touched it last. But I originally called a backcourt, so we're giving the ball to the other team."
Good luck with that.

One thing that is helpful in these situations it body language by players. Sometimes the offensive player will give it away by their reluctance to be the first to touch in the backcourt.
