Obnoxious Coach

I was in the midst of warning the coach about delaying the game when my partner comes trotting over when the coach called him over. At that point I can't warn him or T him because my partner's already there until my partner answers him.

Why does your partner arriving mean you can't T him? I'm not saying I'd have handled it any better, because I still need a lot of work in this area. But if you warned him once and then started to turn away, it would be fine to signal your partner to stay away, and then to T the coach if he kept on yammering. Crew credibility was damaged, not only because of what your partner did, but also because you didn't take care of business.

On the other hand, it sounds like it didn't escalate any further, even though he was still muttering about it later. And although he tried to get histrionic just before the OT, the whole situation never got completely out of control. So I think you can give yourself credit for mostly keeping him in line. Perhaps a B+ for the total performance.
