Your choice, Snaqs. I suppose your option would have been to have told the coach that you had something different and that your over-zealous partner took the call from you and may end up costing your team the game, coach.

I will support my partner in this case -- especially based on the OP's description of what happened. Disagree if you wish.

“Coach, he was right there and had a great angle.”

“Coach, he had a great look, but if you have a specific question, you’ll have to ask him, he be over here in just a minute.”

Really? You got that from what I wrote? How?

You don't have to lie in order to back your partner.

Every pregame I am at the following, rather simplistic, sentences are uttered:
"Double whistles are good. Double signals are bad." (SOMETIMES it is uttered like Frankenstein, just to liven things up!)

...and, I guess, based on what you wrote, you don't have to tell the whole truth, either, do you? Once again, you handle this situation however you would like. I will do the same. I will respectfully disagree with you and you with me.

No, he doesn't need the whole truth. If a coach asks what I had, and I had the same thing, I still probably wouldn't tell him to avoid him picking up on my contrasting answers with a different play later (or earlier).

I have a very difficult time offering a bald faced lie, though, in an avocation that depends heavily upon our integrity.

But you're right, do what works for you.
