At the next dead ball, coach says, "Go ahead and tie your shoe." Partner sounds his whistle, puts his hand in the air and stands over her and politely watches as she ties her shoe. Coach sarcastically says "thank you!!!!!" In mind I am saying to my partner, "thanks for throwing me under the bus." We discussed it after and he claims he didn't hear any of the exchange beforehand even thought thee were only 50 people in the gym.

Who threw who under the bus? Your first exchange with the coach seems to indicate you threw your whole association under the bus. Some partner you are!!

In a college game this past week, I had a coach wanted me to stop play for untied shoe early in the game. I told the coach, "If a player cannot tie a shoe at this level, we have bigger problems." Well my partner did stop play, but he waited until the coach whose team had the ball after a made basket. Apparently my partner told the coach he would not stop play until his team had the ball. I was just shocked that a college coach even wanted this addressed and acted like something bad could happen if someone stepped on his shoe lace. Has he not watched many games where players have thrown their shoes into the stands to keep playing?

Peace

Yep. I was wrong to say that.
