You say Now what are you going to do to enforce your stance with him? He might just tell you "thanks for your opinion but I'm fine with what I'm doing." (or maybe he'll just say "F*** off")." Now what do you do?
Like I said before, you have to decide if confronting him during the game is going to make things better or not...if not, why do it then? Wait and confront him later - as I think Tony already said also...

I have had summer league games where I've told my partner at halftime to either pull his head out and ref likes he's supposed to or else just leave and I will do the 2nd half myself...
