defer call

[Bfair]

I don't tell a coach to go to my partner...........

Memorize this phrase, it will help you in such situations:

If my partner needs help with his call, he'll ask me for it.

You are letting the the coach know:

• Who the call belongs to
  
• Who you will respond to
  
• That you won't respond to the coach
  
• You are willing to work as a team with your partner
  
• That your partner knows your are there if needed

You are keeping a poker face, not implying anything to him regarding your judgment or critique of the call. You are not enticing him to speak to your partner, or appearing that you are passing off getting involved. You are making it appear you have confidence in your partner's abilities to handle the situation. Let the coach decide if he wants to speak with your partner---don't send him there.

That phrase can be used in many occasions when players or coaches request opinions of you.


Just my opinion,
