Hypothetical; let's say it's to win the game. You are the T and are 100% convinced the shot was off in time but your partner waves it off. What do you do?

I have always been taught that in this sitch you go to your partner and tell him what you saw. Do not yell across the floor or do it loud, just approach him and tell him what you saw. I was taught that you never go and say that your partner is wrong, just go in and say something like, "Just so you know, from my angle the ball was clearly out of the shooters had before the horn sounded. I am sure of this." Once you do this, you let your partner decide if he wants to change his call based on the info you provided. I have also been taught that once you do this, if your partner stays with his call, you support him on it. I'm not saying what the OP is saying here is correct as to if he had 100% knowledge that the other official was incorrect, but I have always found that it is possible my partner saw something different than I did because of angles, etc.
