If this guy truly cannot handle the game, then putting him on it is unfair to the kids. However, since your assignor(s) did just this, perhaps they wish to see (again, in my opinion, at the expense of the kids) how you will handle such a situation. Will you be able to step up and drive the boat? What will be your reaction when your partner makes a horrible call? How will you handle the upset coaches and kids? This may be set-up to be your most difficult assignment ever and you have to take control of the game!
When I know I am going into a battle, I want a strong partner, but if I know that I don't have one, I take it as a challenge.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
