I agree with Chuck and Rainmaker. I don't know if you have actual knowledge about this partners abilities. Have a good discussion about primaries and then trust your partner to look after his and you look after yours.

I remember a time I was at a JV game with a fellow who told me this was going to be his 4th time on the court as an official but he had lots of experience as a player. (Yikes, I remember being a player) Well I went over primaries and then when we had breaks in the action that allowed me to go over to him, I reminded him not to ball watch. (he was tending to follow the ball) A couple of other constructive comments to him during the game about some mechanics and we got through the game with no complaints. It was actually a fullfilling experience.
