Maybe I misspoke about getting in between my partner and the coach. My partner was "done" discussing the issue and he was turning and walking away from the irate coach. I simply got in front of the "irate" coach who was still stepping toward my partner and jawing at him and I asked him to calm down and stay in the game. He was heading for a tossing and that wouldn't do him or his team any good.
The "loud" jawing stopped and the game continued. He was still muttering and griping for an inning or two but that wasn't my issue at that point, it was my partner's since that's where the muttering and griping was directed towards.
No partner was "insulted" or "demeaned" in this case. It wasn't like I ran over and got in between the initial "discussion". It was after it was for the most part, over.
