My best games seem to come when my partner and I are at the same level- as a realitivly new official, (3 HS seasons) I find when I work with many very experienced refs, they tend to take over a little at times.

It's a subtle thing, I don't suck- I understand my primary, know the rules and normally make my calls with no problem. It's just that when the situation gets strange, they tend to take over. Coach management for instance.

I also work with many very new officials in MS games for instance, where I am the stronger official. That is not the best situation either.

The very best officials I work with don't do this- they let me sink or swim, and thus get better.

Not sure I have made my point very well, but I tried...
