We have a deaf varsity official on our local board. He used to coach the varsity boys team at the a high school for the deaf, so he knows his stuff. He's a great official. I agree with The_Rookie, mechanics/signals/eye contact, etc., all become very important when working with a deaf partner.

My favorite line in the pregame captains/coaches meeting: "If you guys want to yell at the officials, be sure to yell at my partner".
