Just my two cents here. What's the level of play, Stripes? Around here, it's not uncommon to encounter the official you describe at youth leagues or men's leagues. There are people who officiate only b/c it's an easy paycheck on Saturday mornings. And to be honest with you, I really don't think that there's anything wrong with that. It would be nice if every official took it as seriously as I do, but that's just not reality.

If this is a non-high school game, then you will probably run into guys just like this one time and time again. You just have to work your game the best you can. If this is a HS level game, then there are more serious issues that you can perhaps discuss with a local association or assignor.

In either case, when you're on the floor with him (or somebody just like him), follow Mick's advice. Work hard and then get out.

I agree with Mick too. Only thing is you have to hope is that if the coaches are rating the refs they don't give you a bad rating because of him.
