I think you did fine. The "Coach, I can't do that and you know it," is a great line. Second-year officials are not going to be the best ones out there, so if you say he's doing a good job, then it sounds like he deserves to be there.
If you did force a switch/rotation so that your P becomes the C (only way for him to not be under a basket), would he even know?

Coach wasn't concerned about him being under the other basket, only his own. I could have just switched and put him at T.
But, if I had done that, I would have thrown my partner under the bus. It also would have put him in the coach's hip pocket; no chance in hell I was doing that at that moment. Other than typical second-year official phantom fouls, he wasn't doing a bad job, so there was no reason to try to keep him at C.

What the coach fails to see is that an official not under one basket means that he also can't be under the other basket. Fair is fair, c'est vrai?
But you're bingo about the bus and hip pocket.

And, Oh by the way, you can't force squat as trail.
Even if you said yes, you'd have to wait till next time down the court at lead, then switch.

What he wanted was for me to actually run down and force a switch during a dead ball. "Hey, partner, go take trail, I'll take lead on this one." Would have looked stupid, been pointless, and thrown my partner under the bus for no reason. I would have rightly had my a$$ chewed by anyone there who knew better.

Many places that's true. Around here, everything (middle school, freshmen, JV, and V) is 3-man. My association has taken the attitude that if they want to get younger officials ready for V action, they should be working 3-man games and I agree. It's refreshing.

Only did it once this year, because the girls JV game preceded the varsity girls and boys doubleheader we had, and the AD wanted all three of us to work all three games. Nice, but probably the only time we'll get that.

Alternative resonse:
"Sure Coach, as long as you're willing to go sit at the end of the bench, say nothing, and let your assistant finish this game for you."
