Is it so hard to say? I worked with an official who is still developing as an official.

But in most cases the official that is that weak partner, isn't in development they just don't care, that's the point.

Like I said before, you may be working with someone new who is trying, so yes they are "weaker" than you but that isn't the question being asked in this thread. The OP was talking about that partner where all the tricks you'd use with that inexperienced official...communicating every chance you get, being a great partner, leading by example, staying on top of all game management situations...just don't work.

Those partners that frustrate me are the ones who don't care, don't want to improve because they either think they don't need to or don't care because all they want is the cash. Those guys aren't developing.
