Visiting coach is calling me asking why did he call 5, I ignore him, he calls me again and I say,"The call was down there coach-missed it". I knew my partner made the wrong call. On dead ball I play dumb and ask him about it, he explains that the ball has to be touched in 5 sec., I think to myself" Cannot be" and say oh ok cool.

This WAS the rule some time back -- I believe it changed in the mid 80's. My guess is your partner was calling rules that he remembered from when he played.
