Two other things.
1. If you need to take care of the weaker partner do so, but use caution not to undermine them in the eyes of others. A coach physically bumped and cussed at a female partner after a game last year. Not a wise move for him. I've also given techicals to get an arrogant coach off of my partner's back more than once.
2. Balance each other's strengths. I have one partner I work with some with 30+ years experience. He knows the rule book inside out and if I had a strange or questionable situation, there's no one I'd rather be on the court with. But he is a little "stiff" in the way he relates to people. I have better people skills -- unless I have a jerk on the bench -- so I try to do more of that kind of stuff. Balance each other.
