It was not too long ago that I was the brand new referee. I had a fantastic, more experienced ref that I worked with my first few games. Here's what he did that made me feel more comfortable and do a better job.
1. Good, thorough pre-game.
2. Constant communication - if he saw something in my area that he thought I should have called (or shouldn't have called, in one case) he talked about it at the break. This was great for me, as I was learning and already thinking about the things he brought up.
3. Patience - his professional attitude and calmness did a lot to help me stay calm and focused
