as far as selling my partner out, read the post, it was our 16th game in 2 days, most of these teams are on their 5th or 6th game and have played in 3-4 gyms at multiple locations, everybody is tired, everybody is chippy. all the players, coaches and fans were a bit giddy. it was a funny comment, even to my partner, and i thought i'd share it. if you don't like it, sorry. i think if you're going to work one of these "cash cow" tournaments, then have a sense of humor and enjoy yourself.

If he continues to whine you can ignore it or give him a T. Many coaches will do this to you and once you make the comments like you did they have you. You opened up a whole new dialogue and some coaches will push this to the limit.

As far as selling your partner out. IMO we should only take the games that we can handle physically and mentally. Past that the game suffers. I like to work on my game whenever I can and this falls into the communication category. Given the right situation I will laugh with my partner or a coach but I will not laugh with a coach about my partner's abilities. You don't agree so do it your way.
