Well, I had a whole speech planned and some theatrics (throwing my jacket, etc)
But the first thing he said when he got back to the changing room* was "Oh, I was getting ready to give him that second T, but you beat me to it."
I just rolled my eyes, gave him a similar lecture about getting the job done because someone's gotta do it, and left it at that.
*So after the game, the moment the buzzer sounds, of course I'm booking it back to the locker room. I turn around as I'm almost completely off the court into the hallway and my partner is nowhere to be found!! Then I see him at the scorer’s table talking to the AD!!!
So, I run back to the locker room alone (where the head coach is waiting outside the door to berate my, by the way). I ignore him and go into the locker room and immediately the varsity refs say “Where the heck is your partner?”
I just shrug my shoulders and say “I guess he decided to have a conversation with the AD on the floor after the game.”
They couldn’t believe it either. They gave him a decent tongue lashing after the game for that.
