I will say what I need to say so that the conversation will end and we will move on and any disagreement with my partner will take place behind closed doors, not in front of the coach or on the field/court. If you do not do it that way, that is your right. I just would not want to do that and sometimes we need to discuss the situation at another time.

Well, in baseball, if having a conversation with a coach would mean undermining your partner if you tell the truth, you shouldn't have been in that conversation in the first place.
