Yep, I didn't see it. My partner came to me on the way to the table for the overtime and told me what happenend. It was then that I understood what the coach was complaining about. My thoughts on it were that he did the right thing because stopping and reversing would have led to more problems, especially if the other coach would have saw me talking to Coach B before we changed the call. Getting it right is always the best, but sometimes you have to ride out your mistakes.

Your partner knew he had the wrong call? Your partner knew Coach B saw the wrong call was made? And your partner didn't address it? Not good.

If I was Coach B there would not have been an overtime because I would have ended up with a T in that situation.

Anyway, you asked for advice and I'll give mine again: don't be afraid to fix obvious mistakes. Don't be afraid to answer questions from the coach, don't be afraid to give explanations. It's much better to take the heat for fixing an obvious screw-up than it is to take the heat for being too stubborn to acknowledge something might be wrong.
