I appreciate what you are saying. This seams to be the conclusion of what came about in our post game recape. My partner's mentor was at the game and here is what he had to say about the game. First to her he basicially said that we need to be watching what our partner is calling so we can make the same call when the call comes our way. Second, think about the game for 30 minutes then forget it it. It was a bad game. Then he left it was then I learned that I had put my partner in the funk by something I said. We will be working together again this weekend in the same kind of game situation so it will give us a chance to get it right. I appologized for my words, but words still hurt. But I think this is a lesson that we can learn from. We can all learn to be nicer to our partners, more supportive. Defend them to the death so to speak. We can defend them by calling the same game they are. We can defend them by praising their actions to the coaches. We can support them by making the coach think he is a better official then he is.
