I know we should move away from the coach, but I don't have a problem explaining why I called the "T" last week a coach asked and I explained and my partners moved me away. I understood what they we doing. He was chirping for the start and I had given him the stop sign and he continued. I wasn't going to listen to it.

I don't totally understand what you are saying. Did you call the T on the coach, bench or for a reason the coach should have known? Or, did you call the T out on the floor where the coach wouldn't have known? I feel like I must also ask, do you try to explain Ts that your partners call or talk to the coach after one of your partners gives him/her a T (except to tell them they must be seated)?
