Handled correctly ?

You handled it correctly on the court, i.e, not throwing your partner under the bus.

And, you handled it correctly in the locker room, i.e., giving your partner a tip on how to improve his game.

Two different places, two different approaches to handling the situation.

I won't pretend that games are called exactly the same at the end of blowouts as they are in the first minute.

And yet, I make sure we get every foul we need to get. Your partner needs to learn this.

And the foul we need to get in this case is in favor of the team DOWN by 10....

tell your partner that HE was the problem, not the coach....

If HE called the foul like he was supposed to, the coach wouldn't have gotten the T!

There were two problems with the play. The partner and the coach.

The partner, as most will agree has to officiate the game to the end.

The coach has no business being on the floor. What if the partner was officiating the game to the end and just missed it? We've all had that once or twice in our careers, however that's not license for the coach to get stupid.

I have no problem with what you said to your partner. I probably would have said something to the coach about his behavior no matter how he liked or disliked the call. Two wrongs do not make it right. But what you said to your partner was very appropriate and probably the reason he needed to learn the situation to officiate. It was a MS game a probably someone that still is learning and has these philosophies that often do not fit our profession very well like not calling fous at the end of the game.
