I would not bring this up at the pre-game meeting.

I would, but not in those words.

Well, the game went really well.

Close game, great partner, and I really didn't have to deal with coaches unless to say "first horn blue"

There was only one time when a coach really questioned my call, but I'm sure it was the right one, and the evaluator who was there to watch me seemed to agree.

Towards the end of the game, when the score was no longer in doubt, the coach of the team in the lead started chirping a bit, but nothing out of hand that I needed to address.

Too bad they can't all be like this.

Yes, I concur......I would not bring this up either. General rule is to be approachable, answer questions, not statements.
