I get in position on opposite end of court as new lead, right next to team A bench. Partner is new trail on other end, administering throw-in.

Coach turns to me, "How can that be a walk"
Answer "He saw him move his pivot foot, coach"

Coach, "Thats BULLS...!" Not loud enough for the crowd to hear (crowd on opposite side of court), but certainly loud enough for the players on the court to hear it...

Glad you called the 'T'. However, I think you should have ignored the coach's question to you. Your partner had already answered the coach's inquiry. Plus, you gave a different answer than your partner did ("3-steps" v. "moved his pivot foot").

I never answer for why my partner did or didn't do something. If it is something obvious and I would have had the same call or if I had double whistle then I might say "Coach, I saw the same thing", other than that my answer is "I didn't see it, you'll have to ask my partner".
