That's when you have to learn when to fold 'em. While you may have the winning hand, sometimes it's best for your career to fold anyway.
Had a veteran partner recently call OOB on a player returning to the court because he didn't establish with both feet. I know that's why he called it because he took a moment to explain the call. He's a guy who has given me great feedback in the past, and I respect him immensely. I've had evaluator-level partners get into discussions about pivot cheeks when an airborne player gathers the ball and proceeds to land on his arse.
Yet I know I have a lot to learn from these folks about handling coaches and problem players, as well as positioning and other nuances.
