Somewhat along those lines, what advice do you have for responding to a coach who repeatedly comments to you about your partner's calls?
I'll be in front of the coach during play and he'll say stuff like "I know that's not your call but you gotta help your partner out." OR "Cmon, PLEASE talk to your partner!"
I usually just ignore it, because it's not like he's asking me a legitimate question.
Not sure if it's a divide & conquer strategy? Like the coach will suck up to one official while putting down the other? (NOTE: I"m SURE there have been times when it was reversed and I was the lead and a coach was complaining to my partner about me
)
Should it just be flat-out ignored?
