You pre-game this. "I don't care if it's right in front of my nose, the most important thing is to get the call right." Then see what partner says. Some say, "me too." Others, "I'm calling my primary, you leave it alone." You do whichever he says.
When I think partner didn't see it, and everyone else in the gym did, I'll take it, unless this person has given me a specific hands-off message. If you're a long way away, close like crazy, and delay the whistle a little. If a coach says anything, the best sentence is, "He was focusing on the division line" or "He was watching the defender for contact," or some such. If an eval or observer makes a comment, you say, We pre-gamed that and he was okay with it.
