what's a word/phrase that describes unwillingness to share advice (such as strategy on how to improve in a sports match)?
I'm having trouble coming up with a word/two-word phrase describing unwillingness to share advice (such as strategy on how to improve in a sports match)? May someone help?
I'm hoping that this would either be one word or two words.
Uncooperative
unwilling to help others or do what they ask.
Close-lipped here:
inclined to secrecy or reticence about divulging information;
"although they knew her whereabouts her friends kept close about it"
Secretive; uninformative; obfuscatory (though the latter would mean they're deliberately clouding the picture). Can't think of anything that's exactly what you want though.
