T ?

[Refk]

Helping out fellow official working youth tournament (6th grade girls). Coach complaining to my partner off and on all first half,,, hasn't said anything to me. Starting second half coach is in my partner's ear again and my partner asks " please get back in your coach's box " and the response is a loud "NO I won't ". My partner (first year official ) hesitates ............. looks at me (I'm giving the nod to get him) and he finally gives him the T. My question is ... If he passed on this I was going to give the T ....... Would I have been out of line ?

Thanks
