Only things that can peeve me about another official are not knowing the rules and not knowing the basic fundamental mechanics.
The rest is not for me to judge or worry about. The assignor/supervisor needs to deal with the other stuff.

Trail officials who call 3-second violations when the ball is in the Trail's primary.
Officials who call "reach-in" fouls and/or "over-the-back" fouls. (Usually, these are the same guy). |
|

officials who call violations/fouls that simply didn't happen....
I would MUCH rather have a partner who just doesn't blow the whistle at all - because I can always come in and get the fouls/violations that need to be called.... |

Unless you were working under pro rules.

there's a reason why assignors put a younger/less experienced official on a game with two veterans.... |

Nice in theory, but you'll be worse there and also worse in your primary when you do this. Personally, I find it challenging enough to simply stay in my primary and only reach when we have a true elephant on the court. |

I hate to be the first to say this, I was hoping someone else had this experience, but here's mine-
I hate working with guys who look down at you as an official. You know the guys, the ones that either work college ( and you don't ) and the guys who are on the elected board and it's beneath them to work with someone who is not on the board. There I said it. |

Occasionally, I get the big timer; but that's not isolated to guys who work college or big varsity games. I've had that attitude from perennial JV guys, too.

snaqwells, I should clarify, it's not all of them, but it is a higher % than guys who don't do college and guys who aren't on the board.
And I have never gotten attitude from any jv officials. Lucky me I guess. I have had jv officials that do College, have attitudes toward the board, for not giving them Varsity games at the HS level. Everyone needs to remember there are only so many games at every level. We all think we are God's gift to basketball refereeing, but the truth is, we all are not. |
