Your parnter has only been officiating five years to your two years. He is a relatively new official just like you. He sounds like the suck up official who only cares about getting games to collect a game fee. I would of reported both TF's and started the game with the free throws. Remember, you were already at the game when he decided to show up to officiate, You were the R in the game. MTD, Sr.

I will just quote the assignor in my area after a game a friend of my called last season
She was really angry cause her partner wasn't even trying. He didn't run, didn't even attempt to call the game properly. After the game she said "I never want to officiate with him again" (note this had happened before when they called games) "I know, but you should know. When you looked at the court today, there were one official looking good and proffesional. He is not that official" (He has been calling games probably, 10 years longer then she, maybe even more). Talk to your assignor, let him know how you feel about this partner, and if this ever happens. Get in, get done, get out Then take care of things after the game has ended (offcourse try to talk to him during the game, but if he won't listen, don't force anything and start an argument)

Just call your game and move on. Talking to him afterwards is not going to change anything. You might call your supervisor and tell him what he said and that you would not like to work with him. I would not help him out on the court or go out of my way to be nice to him since it is clear he is not extending that same olive branch. I would not be overly helpful with the coaches on his behalf since he knows more than you do. Just like with coaches and players, they cannot quote silence. If you have an exchange with him, it is going to turn into a he said, he said situation. It is a middle school game after all and the fact that he is talking to you about what to call in the context of that (and he has been working them for 5 years) should tell you all you need to know.
Every time you work with someone (and you have no idea who they are), ask yourself this question. Why are they working with you? You might have multiple answers for that question, but at least it will help you understand why they are working with a newer official and they could be working somewhere else. Sometimes that answer means they are doing it for the money, exercise, giving back to the game and to other officials or they cannot get other opportunities. When you realize that many are not where they would like to be, then take their comments and attitudes for what they are worth. And it is clear that he is not qualified to tell you what you should be doing only having worked 3 years more than you and he is still working the same level. Peace

While it does seem like a big deal, it really isn't...Contact your supervisor of officials and tell him EXACTLY what transpired. You may not be the only guy having a problem with this official. Also tell him this isn't the first time that this has happened, but will be the last!! If he insists, have him come out and watch you two work a game together. It shouldn't matter if you have been with the association for 2 years or 2 days...The way he is treating you isn't right...and that's the bottom line.
