what concerns would you bring up to your assignor

However, remember Deecee, this is AAU type program and possibly not a lot is going to be done. But I would still mention it and next time, do not engage in this type of discussion with partner in front of coaches. It makes both of you look bad, IMO. I would back off and just try to get thru the games.

Based on what you have said here many times, someone should report you many times over. (I am sorry I could not resist)

The reason you do not report this or might want to think twice, if you report them about something, you think you might not get reported as well. Now you have done a tit for tat thing that will be harder for the assignor without independent evidence to know who is telling the truth or whose side of the story rings true. This is really the case if you start getting into judgment calls. The assignor gave this guy games for a reason. He might have hooked up Deecee with this guy to see if he could step up and be the leader. You never know why people are put together. Remember we say silence cannot be quoted. That applies to all aspects of officiating.

I would say this, if you are really unsure what do to, ask a veteran that has been around the block several times. You might find out that the word is already out and telling the assignor is not going to make much of a difference.
