Tell the coaches how weak he is, and diss your partner out loud so that everyone can hear you. Then pray that they choose to side with you rather than being angry at your lack of integrity. If all works out, your partner will be so humiliated that he will leave. But the chances of pulling this off are slim to none. Know your audience. If the teams are morally upstanding, they won't appreciate a partner who throws another one under the bus. If it backfires, you will be leaving the diamond. Be careful is my only warning.
