Sounds to me that your assignor needs to get it together! Too bad you were put in that position to have to tell the "newbie" how to grow up. If this person really wants to be an official, he should get started the correct way....first, check the attitude...then conform with appropriate attire.
In Wisconsin, games at the middle school/junior high up to high school freshmen, JV and Varsity all require a minimum of two "registered" officials before the game can even begin!
Sounds to me this is an issue that needs to be addressed. Aren't there insurance liabilities caused by assigning "non-patched" people to work these games? Lots of other issues here too!
Good luck....you did right in my book!
