Best way to help partner?

[DrakeM]

Chuck,
I think that due to the fact that the way you approached it worked, then it was fine. However, most times you might get a different reaction. "What do mean ask myself?!?" followed by something else! #@**&*#. My own feeling is that the direct approach is best. If you knew (100%) that the shot was in the air, come in and tell your partner. If he/she still questions, then say "I will take full responsibility for it",
if that still doesn't work, then your partner has bigger problems than you can solve!;D
