Can a block be a lift?

[Antonio.King]

Did the coach approach you post-match looking for an explanation on that call or did you offer an explanation without their initiation? If the latter, this is how you corner yourself, so avoid doing that.

Definitely stay away from giving orders, directions when communicating with coaches (and people in general, mostly).

They're allowed to vent (to a certain degree) and their gestures shouldn't really concern you unless they're inappropriate and/or directed to you, your partner, or anyone with direct involvement with the match.

Don't offer your view unless specifically asked (and even then, one sentence is the limit). Otherwise, simply saying, "I understand" and "I hear ya, coach" goes a long way.
