Passed on a T yesterday, why?

He knows where he went wrong--->arguing with the coach instead of just dispassionately whacking him. Just a learning situation from the sound of it....and coltdoggs obviously did learn.

Okie dokie Mr Attorney for Coltdoggs, this is when the coach presented your client with the info:


Here is where I went wrong.... I should have just whacked him right then.....I immediately went to him face to face and we had a conversation that I should not have even had. I got pretty pissy with him after he told me my partner told him that he (my partner) was having to make calls out of HIS area for ME!?


Reading is... F U N D A M E N T A L!

You're right. I missed that. In that case, I certainly would ask my partner about it after the game. If he tells me that it's bullsh!t, I'll believe my partner. Divide and conquer is an old coaching ploy.

And as for your "Mr. Attorney for Coltdoggs" comment, coltdoggs knew and admitted where he screwed up. He obviously learned from the situation. He didn't need me to back him up on anything.

Whoa not the almighty...

If I got word of it in quarters 1 or 2, I'd address it at the half.

I totally concur, seen & played that game before

You're correct sir, perhaps I should've said Public Defender instead of an Attorney...
You did do a half-heartedly job at representing him

Alas, another New Year's resolution that probably won't last too long....

That is a very astute comment. Divide and conquer works way too frequently in life. I would always make the assumption that my partner(s) would never make a comment like that to a coach, and any time a coach made a comment like that, it would be an automatic T. I'd also ask the question, is it really a good thing to confront a partner about it, considering the divide and conquer principle? They will almost never admit to it, and it may cause issues down the road if and when you work with them again. Is it stupid to just make the 100% blanket assumption that this never occurs to mmaintain crew and fraternal unity amongst us, even though we know it does happen on occasion?
