Last year in my first year, I had one of these lousy partners. I mean he was over-bearing, loud, insulting and rude to me the coaches and the players. I was feeling pretty green, but I knew I was better than to deserve to be treated this way, and the coach who he T'ed for asking an honest, quiet question at half-time really didn't deserve the treatment. About three minutes into the third quarter, I was inbounding the ball on the endline (it was a VERY small gym) and there were a number of parents standing close enough that I could count their whiskers. This partner came running down and pointed out for all to hear that I wasn't supposed to bounce pass the ball on the end line (I had no intention) and I should hand it -- he demonstrated and then handed me the ball and said, "Now you try!" I accidentally looked up at one dad who rolled his eyes and started laughing. That dad taught me a lesson -- it wasn't me who looked like a fool that day.
Incidentally, I complained about the treatment I received and the fellow iwn't in the association this year, I notice. Hmmm...
