Interesting point. I guess I was thinking of it more like "bringing information to my partner" and my partner changes the call based on this information rather than an inadvertant whistle (e.g. Parter, I'm 100% certain that the ball was not available to the thrower when you started your count -- I think this needs to be changed to Black/Blue ball).
But you're right. There should have not been a whistle, so it was in fact inadvertant. That said, I think the coaches are going to want more of an explaination and I think the best approach would be "the 5 second count was started incorrectly, and as a result, we have an inadvertant whistle ..."
Of course this is all assuming the partner goes with this, and if he doesn't trust you to make your own 5 second call, I doubt he's going to trust you when you say the call needs to be changed.
