This would've been easy to correct, too. Since the clock never started (and the ball never came on the floor), you could put the five seconds back on and bring the ball back to the original spot of the throw-in.
As far as working with older partners:
I worked a varsity game with a grizzled vet my first varsity season. I missed a very blatant instance of a ball hitting a support wire. The next time down the floor, the ball went out of bounds and I made what was the correct call. My partner came in and strongly overruled me, saying the ball had been tipped.
At halftime, he bragged up his make-up call. I was disgusted, but kept my mouth shut. I never worked with the partner again -- scheduled once, but I switched with another official who liked the guy.
Sometimes it is better to just move on to the next game, y'know? But now you know the right answer for next time.
