Partners, can drive you nuts

[Terrapins Fan]

This is a rant...that's all.

Had a partner tonight ( 3 man crew ) that was more worried about where I was looking than he needed to be....( he thought I was ball watching, I was not, but he was watching me, I think he should have been watching his area), questioned me twice about covering my area.....It was a great game. Nothing unusual.

If only partners trusted one another, that's all I am saying.

What do you say to a guy who is all over you to cover your area and not ball watch? I was polite. I told him he was wrong, but that didn't satisfy him.

Tell him that if he doesn't knock it off, you'll tell both coaches that he is prejudiced against each of their teams.

That's exactly what I was thinking.....

Not pleasant when small timers big time you.

Was he basing this on whistles you had outside your area or b/c he was just plain watching you?

Do you work in Northern VA?

Nothing worse than partners who think they not only need to work their game, but yours as well.

Watching me. We had one double whistle which came into my primary from his.

No not Va.
