If you reported the full conversation, then it didn't take too long and you were right to address it.

That said, given his question, perhaps it implies that you could have been more communicative at the spot of the foul (wave off the shot, use the voice, "before the shot, on the rebound, foul on blue xx")

Rita,

You are alot more gracious than I would be in that situation with my partner. Just because he "outranks you" doesn't give him the authority to prevent you from doing your job. We would've had a rather one sided conversation in the locker room at halftime if he had done that to me. Coach asked a question. Coach deserves an answer. Perhaps Mr. 13 needs a 55 rating to take him down off his high horse.

I talked to him some today. That was part of it. And something I do need to work on.

And yet none of that gives him the right to jump into the middle of your business and cut you off. It sounds like you've identified some things to work on, which is good. At least somebody will get something good out of the experience.
