Ok guys, read the post and picture the situation in your head.

Player gets fifth foul, coach informed then player...player nearly at bench and coach has him turn around to tell the other players (while he makes his mind up)

And your wandering why his partner was upset and stopped him. The player has been dq'ed, is bench personnel and coach is trying to get under rocky & partner's skin.

I don't think it has to be a big deal, but put in the situation I don't think there are that many of us that would something different than the partner did and tell the player to turn around and go back to the bench
