At a timeout, partner comes up to me and says "If I pass on it, don't call it, it's not your area." I say "But I was watching my line, and it was clear to me that the defender displaced the dribbler."
Partner says "But he didn't gain an advantage." This is where I wanted to snap. My partner was lazy all game, and called maybe three fouls for the entire game. I wanted to tell him that he should get a better angle, but thought better of it.
How can B1 displacing A1 not be an advantage gained by B1? Tell me that, I'll give you $20.

I would have told you the same thing.
It's your line and if it's violated, you should make the OOB call.
You have no business calling a foul in the BC from the endline.
You have a partner, you let him live and die with what he does/doesn't call.
