My partner entered the huddle of one of the teams at the end of the first quarter and yelled at the coaches. They were asking if a buzzer-beating shot had been a two or a three. My partner yelled, "shut up!" to the coaches and then ended up call in "T" while still standing in the huddle. At the half I asked what had been said. He said, "The coach would not shut up and I had the same trouble with him last week." I was always taught to stay away from the huddles. I also was taught to not let something that happened in a previous game carry over to the next one. How could I have helped my partner in this situation?
