You go to your partner and say, "The defender clearly tipped the ball on the shot and it went out of bounds." Then the Lead should put the whistle in their mouth and blow the whistle and point in the proper direction.

This should be pre-gamed before every game so you are on the same page. But your partner that is helping should not be asking any questions or trying to find things out. You only do this when you know for sure what you saw and let the calling official make the decision to change the call.

Peace
