Seems to me that all you have here is a foul ball. The only question is whether or not the batter hit the ball a second time intentionally.
Since you only heard what you thought was the ball hitting the bat a second time, and didn't see it, that is what you need to address with your partner.
Ignore the coach (for now), call your partner in privately, as Cecil suggested, and ask him if the batter hit the ball a second time intentionally. BU should have had an unobstructed view of that. Make the call based on the information he gives you.
I don't have a problem with you telling the coach that the catcher blocked you by standing up...that's what happened in this unusual play.
Basically, I think you handled it fine, just some minor things that could have been done differently
