Partner is at Division line. I'm lead. Small gym so benches are all the way to the division line. So coach is right on top of partner. I thought partner should have Teed him up. partner passed. Varsity officials coming in behind us thought like I did.

My question is would you have reached to reward this coach his T ?


I chose not to because it happened right in front of partner and figured he had his reasons for not throwing T. He had some ref jibberish for not throwing the T.

What say you ?
Most likely I wouldn't. I had a situation where I'm opposite table and my partner is tableside. Coach is mad at me for a call/non call on his player. Coach is on the floor yelling at me. As I'm reaching into my pocket for my Tee my partner beat me to the punch reports and goes opposite the table for the throw in. I'm the good cop and i have to deal with the Coach who's p*ssed at me and not my partner. After a brief conversation we played on without further incident. This is one reason. Another your partner needs to learn how to fight his/her own battles.
