Sounds like all here in agreement about the cowardly partner. The only thing to add is make sure a report is done and forwarded to the assignor regarding the incident(s). The behavior of the fans needs to be addressed by the TD and the actions of the BU needs to be addressed by the assignor/evaluator.

A. The partner issue needs to be addressed. B. More often than not the assigner will hear about controversial calls via the tournament director or coaches. I would much rather my assigner have the facts from me. |

![]() NJ, the strategy is a sound one for a number of reasons, but there is a strong advantage to being able to see people coming. And if it's a remote corner, the only reason for anyone to come over there is to confront you; they would be parked elsewhere. Now, if someone is angry at me (once a year, there's a problem), and follows me to the car (only happened once), they get to deal with both me and Thunderstick, which goes with me everywhere: ![]() I'm a batting instructor, and I have found this tool helpful to many young batters. But it can teach a valuable lesson to virtually anyone who has something important to learn. Last edited by Kevin Finnerty; Mon Jul 20, 2009 at 11:11am. |
