But I went along with him because he was the lead official, I was told to 'learn from him'.

What's the best way to approach your partner when you know he is wrong?

Also, a similar question - During a game I was coaching this situation came up and started thinking like an official and wasn't sure how I would handle it -
One of my players drove to the lane and slammed into the defender (an obvious charge I'll admit!) The lead called nothing, but after a moment, the trail blew his whistle and called the charge. Should the trail have made this call even though technically it wasn't his area?

1. Did you conduct a pre-game with him/her before the contest? What I have learn posting on this forum take what Veteran says keep what you want to keep discard what you do not and Keep your mouth SHUT!!

2. The trail held his/her whistle to see if the Lead would make the call. The T demonstrated what we call a patience whistle.

3. Welcome to the avocation.
