Yes, I would bring out the book, prove both coach and partner wrong, and THEN tell partner in postgame he is a POS, and then the assignor about the POS.

Having said that, most are scared of me (and I'm often assignor or assistant to the assignor in college), so it doesn't happen; but if I were you, that's how I would handle.

Don't refuse to work with that partner; don't tie the assignor's hands. But any good assignor will only pair you again if he has no other option (and you want to be his savior, not his problem).
That must be the Jersey coming out in you
