that's the thing was that the assignor was short officicals thats why I did 5 games instead of just 3 -- there were 2 really good officials on the neighboring court that I would rather have had work these 2 games but that feeling was after the fact.
This partner is not in my HS association so I dont have to worry about working any HS games with him and I doubt he would be higher than a frosh/soph ref as I have NEVER seen anyones eyes so glued to the basketball as his were.
Honestly OS -- I considered what you suggested -- let AC stand as soon as he questions anything I call whack him. I thought about it but even though its AAU -- I use those games to really work on game management and I believe if you can manage an AAU game -- HS is a walk in the park. At least HS has structure and a system in place for enforcement of rules and regulations. AAU goes tourney by tourney so what one coach does on the last game of a tourney wont carry over -- like getting ejected.
**Side note -- this same AC -- and I mentioned this to my partner and he just brushed it off like I had a grudge against him -- in a previous tourney about 2 months earlier after a game where I t'd him up late went after my partner cursing him out and saying he was the worst official ever -- he even said something like that to me and came at me. I took a step to him and told him he better think twice before doing or saying anything stupid and he walked away cussing me out. Thing was this was the last game of the tourney.
Fast forward to this past weekend -- for the most part he never said anything rude to me and I will be honest first sign of trouble he was not going to get a warning. I would have T'd him up for standing the second time if my partner hadnt said it was ok.
Here is why I have decided not to say anything -- there are some officials that will learn and some that want to -- this guy will never learn and I usually dont say stuff like this but I dont think he will ever be at an even level as an official with me. Thats just the facts -- there are guys way better than me and guys way worse -- some try and move up because they want to and can. He might want to I dont think he can. I would never guess so much drama from a damn basketball game. thanks for all your replies
