Thanks so much for the advice - both of you. I am lucky enough to have a mentor official working with me and you can bet we will have a long conversation after this past weekend. I also really appreciate the explanation of the sequence that I need to follow next time I have a coach being disrespectful. 2 questions:
1. I hear that the hands feeling for a pin is appropriate and not? If you can't see - what else can you do?
2. Can you penalize a coach after you have already told him that you will deduct a point and then he says something to the effect of "go ahead ... I don't care" or blasts you again about his disagreement - or about something totally unrelated? (And yes - I am using my experience this weekend as an example)
