The one thing that I don't understand here is why do so many people get nervous or overly conscious of their evaluation. Every game could be a potential evaluation (never know who's watching) so I don't see it as being practical to treat this game any differently. Finally, all evaluators are experienced officials who recognize skills and mechanics, trust that they will see the flaws of any potentially weak partner. In fact, this can be a blessing because if you are able to carry your partner and demonstrate leadership, it could lead to a great evaluation. Everyone's been the weak partner and everyone's worked with the weak partner and although it's not the best situation, you gotta make do. Trying to have one good game to impress an evaluator if you are truly mediocre fools him as much as a good game by a JV bench player fools the varsity coach.
