 I have an occasional partner about whom I feel the same way, and he is a friend of mine.  He has been officiating longer than me and has helped me along the way (once gave me a great piece of advice concerning officiating adult rec leagues), so I do not feel it is my place to critique him.  I just make sure that when I work with him in tight games I communicate as much as possible to keep him focused.
