How to work with frustrating partner?

[referee99]

Unfortunately, you are going to have this situation repeated. You want an experience for you. That's human nature. You want feedback, a give and take. You want to learn something, or impart something to someone else. The good news is that most of the time you will get what you want. Unfortunately on some nights you won't. It is what it is.

Appreciate it when you have a good game, and when you don't, get it done and move on to the next game.

Save your bullets. He's filling a need, nothing more. This is going to happen. Maybe some day you'll see guys like this differently, or maybe you're absolutely right. Either way, as has been stated, get in, get done, get out. Shake the dust off your sandals and enjoy the basketball.

Rookie, do you use Arbiter for your assignments? If so, you can block certain partners, if you so choose.

I've never done it, as I never felt the need. But, in your case, I can certainly understand it.

I would save that grenade for a truly deserving target.

You can only do what you can and let the chips fall where they may. Just do your job and that is all you can do if someone is not on the same page.

Yes, if using Arbiter, the program gives you the ability to block partners.
But what are most association rules on this matter? Do most allow it? Are there limits? To my knowledge, it has never come up before in my association, which is using arbiter this year for the first time.

In your postgame, pick one, and only one, situation to discuss, and put it in the form of a question. "I have a question about how we switched, and inbounded the ball, after you called that backcourt violation. Nice call, by the way. You were right on top of it. Since I'm a rookie, I hope that you can help me out here. I really want to make sure that we did it right."
