I'd warned the HC several minutes before this, and he looked at me like I'd told him France was responsible for winning WWII. This was the assistant coach who told my partner it was stupid, and there was a bit of attitude involved as well. Also, she didn't so much as make a move to take her seat when she said it. All of that said, we should have addressed it at the first dead ball of the game. Better yet, it should have been touched on prior to the game. The sad part is, we'd just discussed this very thing at the association meeting the night before.
I just flat out didn't do what I knew I should do.
