Coach out of line

I'd only add to what forksref said by saying that when you have this discussion with your partner, no one else needs to hear it. An emotional partner is less likely to try and defend his turf if he doesn't think you're calling him out in public.

I know you're not implying it, but I can't imagine a quality official getting worked up over this. There's times when a foul causes a travel or a travel comes first and the player with the ball is near the line splitting primaries.

If my partner comes to me and says, "The travel happened first," I'm thanking my partner for getting something I didn't see. And I expect my partner to react the same way.
