Good Luck
Hey Kid,
The way you articulate things shows me you probably won't be in "smallsville" forever. You'll run off to college and hopefully continue your career officiating in whatever town you move to. Therefore, don't spend too much time worrying about this veteran dude because he probably won't be officiating in your area.
Be aware that there is a fine line between "kissing up" and being "polite", some officials get this confused!
I've seen some officials at camps following so close to the evaluators that if the guy stopped suddenly the officials nose would have to be surgically removed.
Remember this word so you can articulate even better:
ASSMOSIS: The process by which some people seem to absorb success and advancement by kissing up to the basketball "assigner" rather than working hard.
