(There was easily a foot or two between the shot blocker and the shooter; that's how obvious it was).

Stopping your partner -- now you just threw both of you under the bus.
Your partner calls a foul and unless there's a violation that precedes the foul he wouldn't see (player travels before the foul) there's nothing for you to communicate. Period.
And it doesn't matter whose PCA it's in. An official is not restricted, by rule, from calling a foul anywhere on the court. Not that it's good practice, but you sure can't overrule him.
