That way instead of him saying " 'I couldn't see a tag," (which was all the coach wanted to hear - he never payed attention to "the runner was in the way" " your partner's answer would have to be "I didn't see her miss the tag".
Agree, as specific as possible.
"Did you see (the opposite of the call)?";
maybe even with a reminder to your partner about quietness.
