Sh**** veteran or not...why piss him off?
Wait untill you've got just a little more experience before you start criticizing veterans to other officials in your association.
(That's one of the reasons to post on this forum...you can let off steam without the politics involved.)
JRut, if this guy needs plumed up...let veterans like yourself do it...not some 1st year guy...IMO.
Having said all that...I could care less what this new guy wants to do...maybe it will work for him...again, good luck.

I see your point, but you missed my point all together. If this guy is a "veteran" he probably is not very respected coming in with 30 seconds to go before game time. If he did come in that late, if he had any respect for the game or his partner, he would have all kinds of explanations for his behavior. He did not according to the post. Along with the other things, he probably is in it for the money and does not care about the game or how he is perceived. Who cares if O&B says something to this guy? I am the vice-president of a basketball division and I can tell you that there are guys that get little or not respect by certain assignors and board members (not just this organization either). That is partly the case because these type of officials come in late, do not wear the proper uniform, has no respect from the coaches and administrators, has no respect from their fellow officials and most of all cannot work a game worth a damn. So pissing off this guy might not matter at all. You are making it out to be that if O&B pisses off this guy his career is over, WRONG!!! He might piss off this guy and find out that others think this official is a clown as well. I had a run in with a former state final official and my career has done nothing but take off since my encounter. I would take a guess that this official has not worked a state final anytime lately.
Peace
