What happens when you entertain Coach A one-on-one is you have allowed Coach A to place the burden of responsibility for any injuries his players might sustain in the second half squarely on your shoulders.

Notice that when Coach A talks to me at half-time, he said, "Someone is going to get hurt."

"Then we definitely need to discuss this with Coach B."

Hmmm....
I don't know quite why, but this kinda sticks in my craw. Are you saying that in this specific situation, when Coach A came over to me at half-time and started jawing, instead of just brushing him off, I should have invited Coach B over, too? You're not saying to do that every time a coach says, "Someone's going to get hurt?" It felt to me more like just more of the same yadda-yadda-yadda. What do you see here that makes this sitch different enough that it gets the special treatment?

What I see is that you listened to what Coach A had to say then went to Coach B to discuss.
You put yourself squarely in the middle.
BTW, I don't hear "Someone's going to get hurt" from coaches all that often but when I do I tell them if they're that concerned they can always take their team off the court. IOO, it aint my issue, it's yours.
