Co-official in over his/her head?

[Dennis Nicely]

Just a comment to all you veterans who have to work with us less experienced officials. I think a thorough pregame emphasizing communication, eye contact, things to look for is great and essential. However, be carefuls with "constructive criticism". Never, Never say anything to your junior partner that will cause him to focus on himself/herself and not the game. You will regret it. Nuf said!!
