Technical or no Technical?

[Adam]

Around here (not everywhere), one partner is expected to remind the coach he has lost use of the box.
That's the only reason I'm within speaking distance of him, though, and any questions he asks will be answered, but he isn't likely to like my answers.
If I'm feeling like a smart-a$$, I might repsond with, "Coach, remember what you said right before he blew the whistle? That's why you go it."
or
"Coach, you were part of that conversation, I wasn't; so you know better than I do."
