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? |
I'd shut it down after the second time or so. "Coach, if you have a question for him, you'll need to talk to him about it."
