It does/certainly can but if your whistle is just before mine, absent excessive contact and/or unsportsmanlike conduct i'm not going to report mine.

I'm guessing you meant you couldn't see his arm when you made eye contact. Isn't really much you can do here, but had your partner had his arm up and you could've come together there probably would've been no T on the coach.

Props for making eye contact and handling it well. I laughed when I first read your post because I imagined the coach thought you were calling the intentional foul on the ball handler.

Maybe I'm imagining the play wrong, but why did your partner cede a call to you that was right in front of him?

If we do come together on this play there is no way I'm doing either of your options (1&2)

We talked about it after the game and I think my partner simply deferred to me as the more experienced official. He certainly should have made sure I knew he had a foul but it's also my job to be aware of what my partner is doing. The coach and I also had a friendly conversation after the game and you're right, he said he was reacting because he saw the common foul and then my reaction.
