I watched as my partner went and talked to him. A few minutes elapsed and the coach was back up and again animated. At the next break in action I told my partner that i couldn't believe that i was going to have to toss him. That's when my partner told me that he didn't give the seat belt speech but instead told the coach that he would allow him to stand and coach his team but he wasn't to get out of hand...
My partner has been calling longer. How would you handle? Comments?

That's a tough one. That's why it's a good idea to get together with one of your partners and get the logistics of a T straightened out before administering. But then your partner made things worse by not doing the job even after your reminded him of the seatbelt duties. I would have a heart-to-heart about that one after the game.
On a similar note, I once gave a much-deserved T to a coach and then got together with my partner (2-person game) and asked him to do the seatbelting. He did that and then let the coach talk to him for about 2 minutes while me and all the players waited. After the game I said, "just seat belt the coach and get away. You can have a discussion with him later in the game. Do you know that it looks like you are selling out your partner when a T is given and then you listen to the coach tell you why it was all my fault for 2 minutes?" My partner agreed and apologized.
