How would you handle it

Do you only confer with partner on who may have touched ball before OB and whether foul or violation occurred first?

Would anybody handle this differently?

I think you did just fine. If you confer with your partner on that call, pretty soon they'll be asking us to get together with our partners for every call. The coach is begging, IMO.

I'm guessing, had you conferred, his information wouldn't have changed your call anyway.
