If I'm asked about another official, I try to mix the positive with the... not so positive. I won't come out and complain about an umpire unless they are so bad that they should never get another assignment with me (only happened twice). However, there's plenty I can say (or not say) for my assignor to get the hint that there may be issues.
I don't want to be perceived as a complainer, nor do I want to be perceived as someone who isn't a team player. But if I'm asked very directly about an umpire's behavior, I'm going to be honest. I won't lie to cover for a substandard umpire if there's no chance of him or her improving.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
