Working with the uneducated

[truerookie]

I am not skilled enough to look outside of my coverage and cover him at this level. (you do not have too).

What can I do to help myself and him. I have asked him to show up a little earlier so we can have a little longer pregame. ( This is the correct approach).

What all should I bring up in the pregame? (the basic stuff i.e. Communication after whistles, double whistles, switch on all fouls, press situation, end of quarter shots just to name a few).

Is their a way in the pregame that I can nicly bring up that he is going to probably struggle, also to tell him that his zone is enough to worry about and to forget mine( cyc officials love to watch the whole court)

No, you will put him on the defensive. I will encourage you to K-I-S (Keep Is Simple)no pun intended it is just an acronym. This should get you through the night. If all else fails GET IN! GET DONE! GET OUT!
