I would let that umpire know he did a great job and I would make sure that your association knew that the umpire did a great job.
In our association we were discussing whether or not to implement an evaluation program based on what a private school league does in our state. This league developed a very simple evaluation form that the officials complete on the two coaching staffs and teams, and the coaching staffs complete on the officials. Positives and negatives are encouraged to be discussed and documented. These are sent to the league authorities who review and report back to the coaches and officials.
Its best to use whatever evaluation systems your association has in place. If none are in place, think about implementing them for next season.
Otherwise, it may be too late in the season to try and make waves. You should quietly discuss this matter with a leader in your associaion whom you can trust and let them take the proper actions.
This season I've taken a very strong approach to just concentrate on my assignment, and cooperate with the crew as much as possible... Its truly amazing but because of my hard work and positive attitude I know that I've elevated the performance of my crew. I don't try to do anyone else's job but my own and let the others handle their jobs.
And don't forget, make sure you let them know what a great job that umpire did...
