My partner for the game in question is pretty stand offish. We discussed our game management prior to the game, in particular how tight we would call it. I think we were on par with each other in that regards. He just doesn't manage coaches very well. I don't work often with him, because he has a reputation of getting coaches fired up so to speak and leaving his partner hanging as far as finishing the job with a T. Great ref outside of that though. Was making great calls, IMO, and I told the coach exactly that. Coach actually agreed w/ me. Its not like the coach was dropping F-bombs or anything. Just trying to influence the game like so many coaches do with little things like "you can't call that" etc. Never did anything to show the ref up. I don't even think anybody except me, my partner, and that coach knew anything was even being said until the warnings started flying around.

That being said, I think communcation is still great and this is situation is probably avoided if discussed in during pregame which I'll take the fault for since I conducted it, or at least led the discussion (conducted sounds to authoritarian).
