I just wonder what his take was on being protected?
I know what my feeling would be.

If one of my partners is closer to a coach and can keep the coach off my ***, I'll thank him for it later.

What really pisses me off is, when I'm sitting there having a dialogue with a coach. And my partner feels the need to diffuse that by coming right in the middle of it and whacking the coach.
Exactly Whistle. There's a difference between preventing and interjecting. Teddy V was using preventative game management. It would be a whole different story if the other official was engaged in dialogue with Coach K and then Teddy V came in and did the body block.
