This never happen to me before--What would you do?

To me, it's not the same as a tipped ball outside his primary or a double whistle. Personally, I would not have given my partner information unless he had asked for it.

On this play, where I know my partner is looking directly at the play and it's in his primary I'm not going to come to him. I've had whistles before where I realized I might have missed something and then I, as the calling official, will seek information.

And now, saying your partner did seek information from you, the correct call would have been an inadvertent whistle, b/c it wasn't a travel and it wasn't a held ball.
