My lesson for the night

[gordon30307]

If all of your cliches don't work give him/her the stop sign and then tell your partners that the Coach has been warned. If it keeps up take care of business.

I had Regional Final (high school) and my two partners had done the State Finals. To make a long story short the losing team is getting blown out and I was the designated person who is getting blamed for everything. I knew it and I tried every trick I knew to get him to calm down but I finally teed him. I report and go opposite the table and he's being very demonstrative with my partner.

At half time I ask my partner what he said. He told my partner I'm so frustrated with my team let me vent a little longer and when I'm done I won't say another word. Coach kept his word and I had no problems with him the rest of the game.
