Define misbehaving. I am not going to T a coach who is in the coaches box giving either of my partners a hard time. They need to man up and take care of their own business or put up with grief all game long. On the other hand, if the coach is out on the floor, way out of the coaches box, or screaming at a partner across the floor and said partner doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to take care of the problem, I will. The point is, rookie or not, you should not be counting on your partners to handle coaches for you. If/when the coach is on your ass, and out of line, take care of business. If/when the coach is on your partners ass, then just like officiating in your primary area, let that partner handle or not handle his own business.
