This is why the game of "telephone" doesn't work. It is all he said/she said going through a 3rd party. The message you get could be quite different.
My 2 cents...
1. Clearly you are not going to persuade the coach that you got the call right. Don't feel like you need to have closure. If I am 100% sure I got the play right, I would tell the coach, I had a great look and got the play right. If he continues then you can say "we will have to agree to disagree and move on." Once I get to that point, then further dialog on the play is unproductive. Obviously, if it was a tough play or you think you may have kicked it, don't tell the coach you got it right or that he is wrong.
2. I don't think how your partner handled the situation is an example of being a good partner. If a coach were to question the integrity of my partner... which he essentially did, he is DONE! Do not listen and if he does it again, the consequences will quickly escalate. The second teaching point is that I would have not relayed the information to you. Now you are upset even further. Your partner should have handled the situation and left you out of it.
The coach doesn't sound dishonest, he sounds like a grade A. jackass.
