I've had this problem with a partner this year. It's only his second season and he's a little overzealous and his confidence in his abilities are a bit overrated. He blows everything he sees -- and sometimes he really botches it. I ususally don't say much, but in a very tight girls game he botched an OOB call big time. FRom his position all he could do was guess. I was 10,000% sure it was wrong so I told him and the call was changed. I was referee and he was umpire. I said, "From where you were positioned it looked like white, but you were screened from full view. I'm 10,000% sure it's blue ball or I wouldn't say anything. We want to get it right and let the girls decide the game." He changed it and play resumed. I usually let it go unless it could clearly affect the outcome of the game.
As for his blowing out of his area, it's junt inexperience. I hope he comes to understand it soon, though. It is frustrating
