Partner comes in and said TO explaining to me that she was facing him and he saw her signal and say TO but spit his whistle - then mine went off for the violation. We granted TO and gave the team the ball for throw in following the TO.

I have "spit the whistle" as well, that to me is a bit different than actually granting the TO late...in that case the official attempted to grant the TO, but just didn't get the whistle out, I think you did the right thing..easy enough to explain to the coach that you went to blew the whistle and spit it out..
