Best to walk away from that and uphold the integrity of officiating then to challenge your partner in public. And like I said, never, ever work with this person again.

This is the reason no one should listen to anything you have to say. Dan did not say anything about his partner. He asked the coach to listen what he was telling him. If you had officiated anything, you would know that coaches play that game all the time trying to tell us what our partner did or said. The coach wanted to play the classic bad cop, good cop. Hey, it has been proven no one really likes your advice at all.
What levels do you work again?

I have worked hard and put myself in a position where I can now control when I work and who I work with.

If you really worked for anyone of significance, you would know that you have little or no choice in who you work with in the first place. I can tell you if you work college ball, you are not going to tell an assignor you will not work with someone or they will just get rid of you and consider you the problem. I can tell you have never worked those games before. Assignors are assignors for a reason. You do not tell your boss how to do their job. This is why I cannot believe you told an assignor you did not want to work with someone in a championship game.
Peace
