Ups and Downs

He is often late for assignments. Often he will arrive just before the ball is ready to be tossed. It doesn't matter if it's a 5p start or noon on Saturday. He watches the ball constantly & calls out of his PCA in front of you.

Downside: You regret working with this guy because you know your tactful support as a partner during the course of the game confirms in him a false sense of confidence in all the things he's doing wrong.
Upside: Compared to him, you look real good.
Downside: If coaches rate officials, too many lump both partners together and you go down with the ship.
Upside: You get to counsel him during post-game and your genuine concern for what he does wrong results in him being a better referee from that point on.
Downside: He probably won't listen to the feedback you have to offer him.
Upside: You're out of there.
Downside: You'll get him as a partner again.
:D
