[QUOTE=RichMSN;808102]After the game, I went in the locker room, changed clothes quickly without showering, and left without saying a word. I was as close to the edge as I've ever been before or since.
Tons of respect for you. This is the professional way to deal with this. You cannot change what happened on the court, and you are not going to change your partner's mind or opinion.
I found that when someone does something like this, usually they know, and there is no benefit to discussing it in the locker room after the game. Many times I have had the 3rd guy ask, "Why didn't you say anything?" My response is always, "I didn't have to. We all know what happened, and he knows he screwed it up. No need to pour salt in a wound."
Making your opinion known once is fine, especially if the offender brings it up himself in the locker room after the game. Starting an argument or getting angry for more than a second or two is pointless, especially if you have no real control, and you are clearly correct.
