It becomes 3 seconds when he passes the ball in this scenario? Other side of the story is my partner called it three seconds twice before the A player shot the ball. Then when the same situation happened when I was the lead I didn't call it and caught flack from the other coach. What should I say to that coach?

Sounds like you both may be wrong. I suggest next time you aren't on the same page with your partner regarding an issue such like this, get together and discuss at the next possible break. Come to an understanding. The worst thing you can do is avoid talking about it and each continue to call it oppositely. This will make for a long, frustrating, painful night for everyone.
