Travel Game Follie

[NCMTNRef]

Thanks again for the replies guys. I have been looking for input like this and unlike alot of guys I find in our field that get touchy if you make the smallest comment about how they can improve, I actually respect the heck out of you guys for saying it. I can take it and it makes me better. Most of the stuff is information that I already knew. Such as take care of it early, go ahead and run the guy. I am not going to rip my partner in this game but one peice of background that I should have thrown in is that my partner has been calling for 5 or 6 years and is much older than I am. I am in my early 20's and have only been calling for a year and a half. I don't know if that changes how I should handle everything...It shouldn't. I issued all of the T's during the game.

Sounds like the coach smelled fresh meat and was trying to pick on you. This is what happens when amateur (or is it immature?) coaches try to imitate their idols on TV.

Don't let being the younger guy or less experience guy deter you from wacking ANYONE! I'm 26, started when I was 17 and 9 out of 10 times if there is a technical in my game, I probably called it...We even joke in pregame about how we are going to handle adminstering them..."ok guys, once I give tonights technical, lets makes sure etc etc etc..." lol

Good learning game for ya!
