In my opinion you made the right choice. Not getting involved since
as you stated you were a spectator and not involved in the game.
If none of his calls were questioned by the competing coaches,
[them asking him to go to his partner] nor did he ask his
partner for help, then there is not much you can do but live by his
decision on the play[s]. It sounds from your post that all the calls
were judgment calls, so his to live with. I think that if
the calls were as obviously as bad as you stated, then his chances
of doing more playoff games are probably not to good.

"But, at what point should an umpire / referee / etc. step in on another's call?"
As stated by ASA Rule 10 Sec 6 B. Under no circumstances will any
umpire seek to reverse a decision made by an assoicate, nor will any
umpire criticize or interfere with the duties of his associate[s]
unless asked to do so.
ASA Rule 10 Sec 6 C. Does allow PU to rectify any situation in which the reversal of an
umpire's decision or a delayed call by an umpire
places a batter-runner, a
runner or the defensive team in jeopardy. etc etc..
