Big fan of communciation here. Definitly agree on ultimatim part. Had a partner warn a coach with the ever popular "next time you say something" speech and told me he warned the coach and asked me to back him up. Well me and the coach had been getting along just peachy for the entire game, hadn't done or said anything remotely Teeable to me (there were times it appeared he had gone over the line while talking to my partner just not to me). Anyway, coach makes it through the rest of the game doesn't upset my P anymore, but does chatter at me a little (nothing offensive or overboard) and I let it go. Post game my P was livid that I didn't T him "for all the talking" that coach was doing, especially after he told me about the warning. I told P it was just talking nothing more and definitly didn't deserve a T. It was like he expected me to do the dirty work by giving a warning and expecting me to take exactly the same position.
