backig your partner

[zebrabt]

My partner and I had this situation the other night. It was a fast paced game up and down the court and at times got a little sloppy. One coach whinning at every call and the other just coaching. Here's what happened.....the whinning coach had questioned my partner's call at one end and since I was on his side of the court I told him in passing we heard enough of his concerns and didn't want to hear any more. During a time out I told my partner that I had told the coach we'd heard enough, something we cover in pre-game is one warning is all they get. A few more trips up and down finds the whinning coach on the floor, out of his coaching box right next to my partner screeming at us. My partner does NOTHING. In my opinion my partner didn't do his job. Any thoughts? My partner has never been one to deal with this situation very well.
