Sure, you need to protect your partner, but if he's doing fine without you, then don't interrupt him. If he is out of control, as in Durham's examples, then you need to step in and regain control of the situation. By the same token, if you have a very inexperienced partner, and he is just getting pummeled by the coach, and he clearly can't handle the situation, then it's a good thing to move in and take his place, and have him take a walk.
