If I'm officiating with an official that has been around for a while, and we get along, I'd talk with him.
Now if it's a stubborn, I'm-better-than-anyone kind of official, like who I was with last saturday for my buzzer shot before halftime situation, then I'd just let them eat it and walk away. If coaches ask me, I'll just simply say "Ask him/her, I didn't blow the whistle".

1. You realize that by
doing this, you've thrown your partner under the bus, right? You've just let the coach know he's a rookie and/or you don't trust him. Way to go, partner.
2. When my partners call a foul in front of me, I assume they saw something I didn't and let it go. If I disagree with the call, I'll talk to him later.
3.
Good grief.
