The short answer is :You're right and They're wrong... a better question for you to consider is "How can I bring them (the more experienced official who is being sloppy and lazy tonight) up to the level of professionalism I want to work this game at?" In other words, figure out some ways to get them to step up to your level - without alienating them...simple comments like "No, I'd like to do everything by the book tonight in this freshman game - it will help me tomorrow night in my varsity game"...that might work...if not, be prepared with something else to try...I guess what I am trying to say is don't just accept the fact that "they" are going to work the game that way - try to get them to work it your way...
