three point controversy

[refjef40]

Here is one where my partner got me in hot water.A JV boys game last night and I'm the lead under the basket.The ball is moving back and forth at the top of the key."A" stops on my side just below the free throw extended and starts to shoot right at the three point line.As I'm trying to see where his feet line up ,I can see out of the corner of my eye my partner is signalling three point shot.It looks like his foot is very close if not on the line so I think well its very close but my partner is signalling three so I let it go.The bad thing is the coach of "B" is yelling why didn't I make the call?He calls time-out and I go to him and he says isn"t that your call?The best response I have is yes normally it is but my partner had already come out strong with a call so I let it go.Later I discussed this with my partner and it won't happen again.My question is anybody got a better response for the coach?
