But you said...

Did my first official varsity game last night with a great partner. He kept "mentoring" during the breaks in action. I think he was attempting to keep me from getting caught up in my emotions and calm me down. It wasn't needed, but the effort was much appreciated.

Before the game, he was sure to mention that we should only give a T if it would make the game better. Early in the 4th quarter he called a block on A2 while she was attempting to set a pick. Coach politely asked for clarification, partner gave it. Since it put Team B in the bonus we were getting set for the FT and I heard the coach complain that it was not a foul, so partner put his hand up. A second later I hear coach say something I could not make out and hear a whistle...partner had T'd the coach. At the next break, partner said the coach's comment was too stupid not to get a T. I just smiled and let it go, but did say the game did get better because he sat down. Partner had to grin, but never would tell me what he said. After the game he said I should not follow his example as he should have shown more control.

Sure would like to know the coach said...maybe it was the big lead his team had that made it sound stupid.
