I can empathize with your position. When I started a few years ago it was irritating to have to figure out a way to have a pre game with out actually having one. While this was not the majority of the time, it still happened too frquently. I would ask questions like "In your experience how do you handle..............? or I have wondered about this....or, I do this on such and such a situation, is that how you do it? I think it is a sad reflection on an official to refuse to have a pre game when, not only does it improve our officiating, but they could use it to train and improve others.
Fortunately I have only had that happen once in the last two years. I love working with a top notch varsity offical who is helping out at the JV level and dong a pre game with them, they are usually such a great learning opportunty. Hang in there.
