Did your partner seem to think that this was a bad thing or not necessarily so?
Around here, we have had numerous conversation about demeanor on the court. It is, like most things, a case of you can't win.
We have one guy who frowns all the time. People don't like that.
"He's mad at us."
We have another guy who smiles all the time. People don't like that.
"He's laughing at us."
I, personally, find the smile to be much worse, particularly when directed at the coach on the short end of the last call, even though in this case I know that it is not done with evil intent.
So, having studied all this at length, in a serious game situation I try to remain expressionless on the court. But people don't like that either.
"Look at him, he doesn't even care."
