That way instead of him saying " 'I couldn't see a tag," (which was all the coach wanted to hear - he never payed attention to "the runner was in the way" " your partner's answer would have to be "I didn't see her miss the tag".

Or, the best way to handle it is to stand my ground, and not go to my partner on a play that I needed no help.
