No, I'd say the coach got what she wanted, she controlled how you called the game.
So at what point would you have whacked? Before the game started? After I'd whacked once and she'd gotten the seatbelt? I agree that my partner didn't do it right. What would you have done differently?
How did the pregame comments come about?

You said chat, was it the coaches meeting?

Mine are short and sweet and I do it at the 2 minute mark, less chance for this kind of exchange. If it was this meeting and the coach asks what she did, I'm saying excuse me while I get the other coach.

When both coaches are there, I'd have the coach repeat her question, and if she has the guts to do it, I'll say, "We are going to call the game fairly and evenly within the rules and we don't care where either team is from." Directing a good, don't even think about messing with me stare, this coaches way.

R or not, I'm setting the tone on this one, and I seriously doubt she'd have tested you or your partner after that kind of response.
