Isn't part of being a partner being there to back you up when you make a mistake?[/

Your OP is NOT the same thing as YOU mis-interpretting a playing rule or you asking for your partner's help.
You had a problem with the coach so why do you expect your partner who has NOT even entered the conversation to restrict him.
here is what I was taught.
When the coach is arguing with my partner walk towards the conversation - DO NOT ENTER it but simply be an observer. If your partner dumps him then you make certain the coach leaves.
RE: If there is a report written it could be a he said she said situation so to back up my partner I want to make certain what was said so that the EJ report (if it comes to it) is accurately written.
Also, If the coach is hot it's best that you simply tell the coach to leave etc.
HOWEVER,
Do not expect your partner to DUMP OR RESTRICT the coach. That is your job if you so warrant it.
