Get In, Get Done, Get Out

[psujaye]

the only thing you can do is that if you sense your partner is inexperienced and needs some help before halftime, try to offer it. I work a few rec leagues and end up working with inexperienced officials frequently. if you can figure out if he wants to learn, you can probably help him enough with a halftime crash course to make it through another half of basketball without any issues. if he doesn't want your help/advice, i'd pray to the referee Gods for a smooth rest of game. It sounds like he was an amateur rookie at best, but we've all been there.
