Help with my charge call..

I'd like to get some advice on talking with a senior official.
Working a MS girls game the other day, I'm L and partner is T away. A1 is guarded well by B1 just outside the lane. A1 starts to make a move to the basket, lowers her shoulder and drives into B1. I call the charge on A1 give a PC signal and go to report the foul. No whistle from him. My Partner went to administer the throw-in and started to give it to Team A. I had to stop him and say "offensive".
He obviously disagreed with my call from his body language and look on his face and everyone in the gym could see it. Which didn't make me happy.
I talked to him at the half and explained my call but didn't say anything about his reaction.
My question is, how would you bring it up or would you not bother?

His body language and silence has already spoken volumes. Let it go and get ready for the next game. Learn all you can from all your partners -- both what you do and do not want to be like!

Was the player driving from trail side into the lane?

No, they were away side 6' in front of me.

Sounds like you had the best look then!

I know I had a great look at it and am confident in my call. I just didn't appreciate what he did. I've tried to learn everything I can from all the partners I've had, and would have definitely been willing to listen if he wanted to point something out I might have missed.

Good call!!!! If you partner had no whistle, then just politely tell him like you did and move on. Talk about it after the game and let it go. If its the first time you have worked with him, it could be a trust issue.

Thanks for all the advice. Yes this was a first for time myself with this partner and as for me being the new guy, I'm sure they are giving me some extra scrutiny which is something that I welcome. It is amazing how much I've picked up being on the court instead of in the bleachers or on the bench. The hardest part is overcoming how nervous I get before a game. I've come along way with that though and each successive game helps boost the confidence level.
The insight gained from reading this forum has also been a tremendous help.
