I agree with all of the posts thus far.
The most important thing is that both officials are on the same page calling the same game.
I have often encountered partners (ussually older and more experienced) that call every game the same way - and it may not be the way I would like it called. What we have to remember is that a game is better officiated if both officials call it the same - even if one official is not happy with the result. The worst possible thing a coach can see is a call consistently made on one end and not on the other.
I had a situation a few years back with a 3rd year official in a boys JV game. I could see from the outset that he had much less hustle then what is expected of an official. I decided to extend myself and make sure I was in position to make every call. The varsity assignor was at that game and recognized this hustle and now I am regulary working his varsity assignments.
