Ahem...getting us back on topic before some "esteemed members" start complaining...I had a situation just a few weeks ago - conference playoff game, I notice visiting coach in my partner's ear while we are shooting free throws. 2nd shot made, and V coach call a time-out...partner reports it to table, and then turns and walks directly to me and says "Coach ____ wants me to tell you to lose your ego tonight." I looked at him for a few seconds, ask "Are you serious? That's what that conversation was about - me having an ego?" He said "Yes" so I turned and walked away...in the locker room after the game, we had a little discussion about crew integrity and not letting a coach blast your partner, but he didn't get it. I was quite proud of myself for NOT yelling or losing my temper...the evaluator/observer who was there, however, lit the guy up when he heard what had happened.!!
