How would you handle it

[JRutledge]

The dribble would not end unless the touching makes the player lose control of the ball. So even if you had a touch, if you did not believe the ball was lost it would not matter by rule. That is a judgment call all the way, but I would not go to a partner about that kind of call, just like I would not go to them to identify a pivot foot after I made a travel call.

I have a standard rule with all of my partners, that if he sees something completely different than what I see, please come talk to me about it.

That said...

I agree. I can't imagine a scenario where I would approach a partner with this one. The coach in the OP was playing a three of clubs.

A player shall not dribble a second time after his/her first dribble has ended,
unless it is after he/she has lost control because of:
ART. 1 A try for field goal.
ART. 2 A touch by an opponent.
ART. 3 A pass or fumble which has then touched, or been touched by,
another player

For violations (including OOB), I will say something to my partner who called it only if I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the call is incorrect.

If a coach asks me to "fix" a call that I think "might" be wrong: "Coach, that was his call and he had a great look at it." We might talk about it later if it's important somehow.
