Besides all the great information already shared, I would add the following:
In the pregame, discuss court coverage. Tell your newbie partner to focus on his area and the closest player that can "hurt" him. This will help him not follow the ball.
After the game, ask your newbie if there are any calls he would take back if he could. If not great. If so, discuss these.
Share any problems with his mechanics as these are the dead giveaways that the offical is a newbie.
