My Partner Asked Me If I Was T Happy

The T was on the bench, not him.

Hey, if you said something while you were walking by the bench, no problem. Or if you said something while you were walking back into position, again no problem. However, if you went over to the coach after you reported, as you stated in your original post, then I think that you just made a mistake. That was my point. Do NOT go over to the bench area and the coach to hand out an explanation after you've reported. Keep t'hell away from the bench. No good can come of it, especially since you already know that they don't agree with your call.

Jmo, Ignats. Take it fwiw.
