I think we as veterans all struggle to a certain extent with this. Is your partner a rookie, is the starting point. If he is...I am not going to protect him unless a coach goes over the line...otherwise unless we let the rookie fight his own battles, he won't advance. Is it a packed house? If it is, I can tollerate a little more. And, did we create the chaos? If we did then I am always going to let the coach go a little bit further. I may even, with a rookie, go over to a coach, find a wet spot on the floor (since i am not going to give a d-o-g warning for that) and wipe it out and tell the coach, I am here, get it out of your system --I am going to put the ball in play and we are going to forget about it.
