Bad teamwork? Sure. But should it really result in the Knight losing his turn (instead of being allowed to Move, or take some other useful maneuver since he no longer has an enemy in front of him)?

I'd certainly consider "I Wait until after Wizard acts or get's knocked out of the fight" to meet the specific requirement well enough. Admittedly if Wizard then takes Do Nothing or something, you'd still lose an action, but really holding your turn to later with Wait isn't going to break anything, and in some ways never resolving a Wait *does* - Act, parry, Wait (never triggers), get attacked by guy just before you in the action sequence, can you parry without a multiple parry penalty? Does it depend on the action you *would* have taken if the Wait triggered?
