How to do your best with new/sub-par officials?

[Junker]

How often do you talk to partners during the game and at half-time? What do you talk about. In my games, I try to get the crew together at the spot of the throw in quickly at the first time out. We talk about what we are seeing and how we are feeling. If there has been a goofy play and we have time to discuss it quickly as far as what we saw, we do. At the half, ask questions. If you are having to get out of your primary to make a call, ask them why they passed and what they saw. Don't as in an accusing fashion, just go fishing for information. I can't believe no-one has mentioned it, but pregame...pregame...pregame.
