Crazy..., try to remember these things:
1.You'll enjoy working with some partners and some you won't. Enjoy the good nights and be thankful for those partners. On bad nights do your best, keep your mouth shut, and get out. Look forward to the next game. We've all been there!
2. Long time veterans have much to teach you -- and sometimes it is through their decision to get lax or slack a little. But everyone can teach you something.
3. From what I gather from your post, you learned somethings you don't want to do AND you clearly made some mistakes yourself! I have a couple of long time veteran partners who are great "rule book" officials, but they truthfully have always had trouble making good calls.
4. Never disrespect an older and more seasoned partner. You'll lose respect from everyone you officiate with and it will come back to bite you in the rear end in a hurry.
