slow partner...

Last night I had a partner, 6'5" 350lbs. Know that I am 6'1" amd 285. I am still able to get up and down floor. I am also a football official and was timed in 4.85 40 this year, won a bet with my crew. My question is... what to do when you have a partner who can barely make it to division line. On plays, where I was L, he was on others side of court officiating from 60'. I was able to transition from L to T position before he was at endline. Several calls were missed due to his positioning. I asked him if this was where he was positioned all year and he said yes! He has called several games with division reps and is a friend of our President. What would you do?

Control what you can control! Extend your primary (when needed) for the good of the game...

Tell him you'd like to introduce him to a cute girl you know - Jenny Craig.
