In the situation with my question, I would walk the coach back to the huddle and 1) if everything with the coach was OK I would tell him/her we can talk about it later or 2) if everything wasn't OK, I would tell the coach that they aren't going to use a timeout to talk to us. |
Nothing to be confused about -- you and I would probably do similar things. I get the sense we'd do a lot of things on the court similarly. However, I'm OK if a partner wants to do things a bit differently, even if it's not something I would do personally. I know the guys I work with and know they wouldn't throw me under the bus. Some of them have different styles than me, though.
Regarding the question -- I always try to "walk" coaches back -- whether it's the dugout in baseball, the sideline in football, or the huddle in basketball. It's good practice.
This conversation reminded me that my partner whacked two assistants in consecutive nights, though. I'll have to ask him who pissed in his Cheerios.
