My advice...
If you get a chance, (TO, QTR, 1/2 etc,) talk about things you are missing, or doing...
Work your butt off, make great calls, and work the best game you can... If your partner is weak, everyone will know it... Dont slide back to their level. Give 110%. Coaches will know when you hustle and you are officiating right...If they dont make the OMG call, you may have to step up and make it. If it is travels or those kinds of things, call your own game.
I had a game a couple of years ago with a partner who was from out of town ( just moved to the area) My pre-game was miserable because he did not do anything the way we do it in our association and wanted to argue about it( nor was it any way close that anyone had ever done it with the camps I had been too)
A college guy (working a later game) came in and asked why we had so many double whistles....My partner was calling out of his area, something fierce--- Coaches know this and everybody else does to...The college guys opinion carried some weight and we only had two the second half...Glad he came in, if I had mentioned my partner would not have listened... I would have continued calling my game, and he would be the one looking foolish...
If they have stock in ATT let them make the calls, you do what you need to do... You are only one person. Of course the coach will complain to you because she knows it is hopless to even talk to your partner...
Have fun... I just wanna ref!
