On the T, coach is going ballistic and you pretty much have to call it. In this situation it sucks to have to do it, but Coachs can't get away with all that.

My question is this, how do you defend your partner when they've made what you feel is a bad/weak call? Just a simple "he had a good angle at coach"?

Make a habit of not discussing partners' calls, then it doesn't look funny when you simply say "Coach, you'll have to ask Billy about his call."

Something similar to your comment is ok, as long as your body language or tone don't give away your opinion. Keep your poker face.
