You absolutely need to pregame this situation with your partner. Good partner communications and trust on the floor is essential. We do exclusively 2 official games as well, and the following seems to work:

1. On the double whistle make immediate eye contact with your partner.
2. Trail drops their call and lets Lead take it as primary UNLESS Trail has something really important that needs to be called (ie: a travel that would negate a foul), in which case Trail immediately comes STRONG with the call and Lead drops their call and lets Trail take it.
3. In the few remaining situations where you do need to get together, hold both the eye contact and your initial signal (ie: raised fist) while simultaneously using your peripheral vision to freeze the floor, then do it quickly.

It only takes a second, and once you get a feel for it, happens almost instantly. Doing it this way will cover about 98% of these situations and restrict the need to "get together" to those situations you really need to.
