Let me add that hopefully there are enough veterans out there that can help new/newer officials to come up. Part of that is developing a good mentor/men-tee relationship. If you can work games with this person then do so. When I came up I had a really good mentor. He worked a lot of games with me @ the lower level & AAU games. He was there early on to help handle coaches, tough plays, and taught me how to manage the ball game. New officials have to learn through their own experience's, which is the absolute best teacher. However on the same token maybe we can help them not make some of the same mistakes we did.
If we are the veteran then we need to help our partners to be the best official they can be on that game. If they stay comfortable then the better of a game they will call.
