It really depends on what the "problem" is...someone who is lazy, makes "bad" calls, doesn't handle coaches well, etc. - I will keep that to myself unless the supervisor specifically asks me. Those are "judgement" issues - in other words, it's my judgement or opinion.If the partner or supervisor asks me, I will start the answer with "My opinion is..."

In situations where something major is screwed up - like the other post where the partner ended the half with 0.2 on the clock - then I am calling the supervisor and explaining exactly what happened. Not to get the partner in trouble, but so that the supervisor has a "heads-up" before the angry coach/AD calls and starts griping. In the course of the conversation, I will answer any and all questions truthfully - even if that means telling the supervisor that I, or any of my partners, dextered everything up. That is not an opinion issue, that is messing up a rule, and the integrity of the game is most important.
