Here's how I would ask him about it: "Charlie, what happened on that T?"...(listen to his explaination to understand what the real problem was - rather than what he may have perceived)..."Do you think there is anything we could have done as a crew to avoid the T?"...(listen some more)....then suggest a possible solution in the form of a question....i.e. "What do you think would have happened if we just administered the ball quickly? Do you think the coach would have moved a few steps back into the coaching box and started coaching his team?....
In this situation, you can't TELL someone they should have done something different, you have to SELL them....iow, they have to convince themselves (with a little help from you) that there is another solution.
