Is there any way I can teach him without firing this guy? PS, he also wants to do middle school ball next year

I know how you are feeling. I am ref at our YMCA as well and there is this one ref who does not blow his whistle. And if he does, he is normally wrong. So the YMCA Bball Director invited him to watch our crew during the 4-5th Grade game. Then afterwords I asked if had any questions or comments. Then told him to be himself and don't worry about the parents. Just make the call you think is right. I dunno though, he started calling a little more, but not quite there YET. I believe he has two weeks left until his next e-val so I will go and help him ref and maybe he will catch on and start calling stuff.
Hope it works out for you. I would put him with someone else maybe that will calm him down and he will make some calls.
Hope it works.
