Suff happens but it's always good that your partners know if there's a history.
Three seasons ago I have a BV coach who can be a bit noisy. I called a couple of travels against his team in the first qtr. He wasn't thrilled with one of them and started yelling "that's a horrible call!" Repeatedly. While three feet out of his coaching box. While I'm standing at the division line across from the table. Bang... He and his assistant catch me at halftime and ask why I have him a T since he didn't swear (really?) and why he didn't get a warning.
Ten days later I have the same guy (both were road games). I tell my partner about the previous situation, including the stuff they said about no warning. My partner tells me, "Fine. If you have to warn him, I'll take care of the rest." Midway trough the 2nd qtr. I warn the HC. Two minutes later, my partner finishes the job. That's why we're a team out there.
BTW, that HC and I have gotten along just fine since then to the point where we actually joke with each other during games.
