calling your area.
reffingrook82, I was not there and it is very difficult for me to say what you called was wrong or not. In 2 person mechanics, you have to call many things that you would not call in 3 person games. But I cannot condone or accept the behavior of your partner. This was a the heightness of unprofessional behavior. If he had a problem with your call, he could have waited until you guys were alone.
It might be harder as your first year, but in the future you need to stand up for yourself in those cases. Not on the court, but during halftime or after the game. And if you have a good pregame, discuss your partner's attitude about calls that might be right but in each others area. At least you know if you make a call that appears to be in partners area, at least you know what might be the reaction by making the call. Just chalk it up to experience and learn from it and move on. This will not be your last bad experience.
