Look, we were all new officials once (ok, some Forum Members may not be able to remember back that far).

Bottom line - treat others how you would want to be treated in the same situation. He seemed open to correction and suggestions, so give them to him in a constructive, helpful manner. Talk to him at timeouts, halftime, after the game, etc. Give him some things to work on. Yes, everyone's not cut out to do this. But, if he has the desire, studies, watches, learns, practices and has more senior, experienced officials help him along - he can only get better.
