I had a partner do this to me as a JV ref.

He would call fouls from the division line as trail, in front of me on the baseline as lead. At half time I asked him politely to stop calling in front of me. He stated, "I call what I see no matter where it is on the court". I again politely asked him to stop, but he pulled the, I'm the veteran on me. So I told him calmly but firmly that if he called another one in front of me that I would make him look bad because he's making me look like I can't call the game.

2 minutes into the third I'm lead, literally 2 feet from the play. A1 has the ball driving on the baseline to the hole. A2 handchecks B1 into A1 which goes out of bounds. I hear from half court his whistle going off. He calls the foul on B1. B's coach yells at me that's my call why didn't call it. I yelled back from the base line, because A2 caused the foul and should have been called for it instead.

Needless to say the coach and my partner had a discussion after that.

In the locker room my partner asked me why I did that, I told him, "I asked you nicely twice to not call in my area, and you rudely pushed my request aside".

He picked up his bag and walked out without another word.
