Discussing a call with your partner

As a general rule this should always be a pre-game item. But during the summer or off-season ball that is not always possible.

What you describe sounds pretty basic stuff unless your partner signaled without consultation. But it is typical for a partner on a close out of bounds call where they see the entire play to come to the calling official and give them information. As long as he gave you information and you changed the call based on that information, not sure what is the problem.
