I have to play the devil's advocate here. If you make that call from half court, you would get your butt chewed by any supervisor that I have ran across: JC, D1, and Pro. Also, trust your partner here. If the player traveled, that is your partners call and I wouldn't question him about it in the manner you did. I would ask him what he saw, or say that looked crazy from your angle. We are both getting paid the same for this game and with your comment it seems like you aren't trusting me to earn my paycheck.
Personally I wouldn't care what you saw or said and I would have laughed it off saying that since he didn't travel I am glad that you were too slow to get into position to call it. Or something along those lines to laugh it off.
Bottom line: in this situation I would keep my comments to myself.
