It still seems like there is more to this story. I still feel like there is more you could tell us. But then again, this part of the story was fine. I seem to understand why you were concerned. But what happen before this last "confrontation?"

There's really nothing more to it. I've worked with this partner before and my only problem is that he seems to hold a grudge if a coach gives him a hard time. However, if he can satisfy his ego by admonishing the coach and the coach then becomes passive, he gets back to normal.
As far as calling a game, he does a pretty good job, although he has always calls a "kick" every time a ball hits someone's foot, regardless of the circumstances.
Today, after this game, we had two more games together. We called a total of 11 technicals in those two games, all on players. The first game was varsity boys and the second was JV boys. Seven of the eleven were for profanity, one was for second delay warning after made baskets and one was for reaching across the boundary on an OOB and hitting the ball. Another one came after he T'd a kid and the kid then went to the bench and kicked it so hard, it knocked all the gym bags and water bottles off. I gave him that one, and he was gone.
BTW - the other one came when a kid complained about a no-call to me. I let it go until he said, "I guess it's illegal for you to call any fouls today." I replied, "Not at all. Just watch. WHACK!"
I don't anticipate too many tomorrow - all girls games.
