Have you ever informed a coach that "hey, my partner today is doing his first game/in his first year: No. You simply take over the introductions by saying "Hello Coach Smith, I'm Bob Jones, and this is my partner John Doe", or "Hello Coach Smith, nice to see you again. This is my partner John Doe"
How do you respond to a coach who is asking you about partner's positioning, blown call etc? I will always stick up for my partner, however, what happens when there is an obvious blown call (one is fine, a series is different) and the coaches are on you about him/her?:
Coach is questioning a partner’s call:
“Coach, that’s a good call, as a crew we have to make that call.”
“We’re calling it on both ends.”
“Coach, he/she was right there and had a great angle.”
“Coach, we’re not going there, I can’t let you criticize my partner.”
“Coach, he/she had a great look, but if you have a specific question, you’ll have to ask him/her, he/she’ll be over here in just a minute.”
Coach has a good point and might be right.
“You might be right, that’s one we’ll talk about at halftime/intermission/the next time out.”
