Attacked at a Game

Just my opinion, take it for what you paid for it.

I had this situation (but reversed) a couple seasons ago. My partner is just taking it from a coach every trip down the floor (tableside). I couldn't take it anymore so I came from the endline opposite table to stick the coach.

Partner & coach has been my best buddies everytime we cross paths.

In general, I think an official should handle his own stuff. An example is the coach's first yell in the OP, "I wasn't talking to you!" That's a T if she's yelling it to me, but I probably won't get involved if she's talking to my partner and he chooses not to get involved. I might be more inclined to jump in if my partner is in his first two years at the level we're working.

OTOH, the threat gets my flagrant every time, regardless if it's to me or a partner.

It all depends on the partner. Some will say, "I can take care of myself" and others will say, "Thanks for having my back." I've had both. Now I'm in a place where we do 2-person and have regular partner so we go with the "get my back and I'll get yours". Works well for us.
