Geez, this happened to me once.
Many years ago, JV game. I'd been working around two years, my partner had zero experience. ZERO. No classes, no meetings, NADA. Don't know how he ended up with an assignment. He had a shirt and a whistle, and I had about 10 minutes to teach him.
We went over basic court coverage, the importance of actually blowing the whistle, and taking your time in signalling your call to make sure you've got it right. And I got to play traffic cop for most of the game.
Of course, this had to be a game where the varsity officials were there in plenty of time to observe. And they filled out eval forms. One of the comments on mine: "Needs to pay more attention to area of responsibility." Duh!
