ABSOLUTELY!!!!! I do not think there is any question about calling the assignor about your partner's behavior during the game. This partner made you look bad in front of players, coaches, fans, school administration, and possibly your supervisor in the way he worked the bases.
Then, he really went over the line by using his cell phone every half inning. No umpire should be taking their cell phone with them on the field no matter what level of a game you are working.
Yes, you need to call or email your supervisor right away and advise him of what happened throughout this game. If the supervisor does not deal with the situation, then you have done everything possible within your control to correct this situation.
I would also apologize to both teams for this situation occuring, and then forward and letter or emails that you use or receive from the official or supervisor involving this matter. That way, you have shown good faith to the schools to solve this situation.
