I don't want my partner coming over and telling me what is going to happen after any of my calls. I already know. I made the d@mn call!
If I want their input of help, I will go to them. Also, I don't feel the need to run away from a coach after T'ing him. I hate it when a partner comes running over and thinks that I need to leave after a T. The official on the other side of the floor has no idea what caused the T. Most of my Ts are actually because the coach is upset with my partner and I am protecting their back. Now the official that the coach is upset with has come right over into the fire.
I pregame that we leave the decision up to the calling official. If he wants to leave that area, he just walks to the opposite side of the floor and someone else fills in. If that official is okay to stay, then he stays put.
