Today was my 20th game ever and I ran into a tuff game. Up until now I have had challenging games but nothing I could not handle. This one might have been a stretch.
Losing team lost by 23 points and during the game coach was pretty quiet at the end of the game as I was dressing to go home and sitting next to my partner he comes up to us and gives his unsoliciated commentary telling my partner you called a good game and that I was awful. My partner said nothing and I said thanks for feedback.
Admititly, I made some mistakes one of which I said there were 2 shots and it was 1 and 1...My partner did not correct me and it caused some confusion. Second issue and the one that seemed to piss off the coach he sez his guy went down hard with 1 minute left in the game and I was turning heading back down court so I did not see it and my partner said nothing.
Questions:
1) Should my partner said something to the complaining coach..run interference for me?
2) Is the coach's behavior appropriate?
3) Should I notify the assignor?
Any words of wisdom always appreciated
