did I do this right?

The coach sees the official closest to the play...and with the best view if the player hanging could have landed safely...call a T.

They see you come in and overrule the call, and then you come over to tell him he's not getting the T. Being that you wrote, "I wasn't going to let him give the T," I'd bet the coach saw it as you changing the call and that got reinforced by you telling him no T.

R or not, the most you should have come in with was, "Partner ya think he was protecting himself?"

After that your partner makes the call on changing it, and if he does HE should be explaining the change to the coaches.

You came off looking like alpha-ref and the coach acted accordingly, IMO.
