Without knowing what your problem was, my rule is always bust your arse and you will have nothing to worry about.
To the fans and some coaches he will make you look bad.
But to the knowledgable people, they will see you didn't lose your concentration and that your focus was the game. This will go a long way, and you would be surprised how people will react to you.
I had a game like this earlier in the year, the guy wouldn't blow (barely, loud gym who knows) his whistle, never bird dogged (that is still req. here), reported his fouls through the players from where ever he was on the floor, and generally left everyone in the gym confused on many calls. We had correctable errors, mystery PC calls, and a whole host of other things that should never happen.
I was pissed, but I kept my game face on and trudged through, and people noticied I was carring him.
Honestly, I can trace the problem to one point, he was R his pre-game sucked and he was uninterested.
I got him the next week and I led the pregame, set the expectations, and covered all of his issues during the pregame. It went much smoother. And the coaches and AD (we had the one team both games)mentioned to me the difference and my professionalism.
Like they say "You never know who is watching".
