Re: Question about Questions from a Coach

"I've noticed some difference in the way you two are calling certain things. Do you guys think you could talk it over?"

Would this approach be likely to offend? I know if there is some way to communicate without being confrontational, everybody is better off. On the other hand, am I better off biting my tongue and just hoping it will all even out in the end?
If you asked me this I might just ask you for specific examples, so you better be prepared. Or I might just shrug my shoulders, say I don't see it that way and walk away. In either case I'll talk it over with the crew at the next dead ball, we might agree or we might just roll our eyes. Anyway, if you think you're getting the sh1tty end of the stick speak up, but don't be a jerk about it.
