I've interrupted a couple of these sessions
I've had a few instances where a partner was having a long conversation about today's game or the season with a coach without the other coach present.
In each instance I have gently interrupted and said something to encourage the coach to move on. Each time it has worked and then I've followed up with a statement to my partner that "it might not be a good idea to . . . ", and "it may seem to others that you are favoring one coach". Just gently telling them to not do that, at least when I'm around.
Now this guy you were dealing with may have been such an @** that he wouldn't have listened to you anyway. Really not much you can do but get the game(s) over.
