I'm the L. Partner makes call. What to do?
Partner has 30+ years in and clearly has his mind on 7pm game.
Do you step in and ask him about his call or leave it be?
I had to answer to the coach who just had that call against him.
"Coach I didn't have a great look at that play from where I was."
Coach, "I knew you were going to say that!"

If the situation doesn't resolve itself quickly and you find yourself in the situation of "needing" to go to your partner. I would go to my partner and say something along the lines of "Coach is asking so I am making sure, I did not see a player touch the throw-in." Or something like " I didn't see anything that stopped the throw-in exception." If my partner sticks with backcourt violation, I am staying with him.
If my partner goes with a call after we talk, I am not taking that moment (during a game) to argue rules. We can talk later.
This will probably bring criticism but I am not a big fan of changing my partners call. At least one of the 3 B's must be met here. It must be needed!
