Can I ask a ?. Was this guy an older official or a new one.
In the summer time you never know who you are working with. When i do summer stuff I usually tell the assigner that I have a partner. That way you know what you got going on.
Working in the summer is a learn as you go time. You get a lot of different partners, so you can use it all as a learning tool.
I myself use it as a learing and teaching tool. When i work with a younger official, i try to help them with on ball, off ball mechanics.
Never get into an argument, just walk away from him, leave him there standing.
And if you get stuck with him again, call what you see and get it over as quick as possible. If he did not call it in his area, you leave it alone. You will give yourself more headaches.
