Good job. He didn't give you much choice, did he?

I had one thought that may be of use to you. I pre-game with my partners that after a T is given, we meet at center court, even before reporting. It can be an emotional moment and we want a chance to get a couple of deep breaths and to make sure we both know what we're going to do next.

In a situation like yours, if you had T'd him and then moved away from him out to center court, he may have chosen to withhold the second remark. If not, he would have had to say it louder and your partner would be closer to grab the second T. Obviously I'm speculating because I wasn't there, but it's something to think about.
