Partner who does things "His way".
What do you do if you have a partner who says this pregame: "I don't care what the new rule / emphasis is, I will never change the way I call."
[a] If you are "senior" to this official. [b] If you are "junior" (especially if he is a "big dog"). |
Me: "I'm calling it by the rule book. If the coach has a question, I'm directing him to you for an answer."

Being the partner who cares enough to call the rules and POEs as written, I'm going to do my best to suck it up for the time we're together. As a fairly new official myself, I get some of these people as partners. I go call the game, it's obvious to the coaches which one of us cares to be there and if I don't get all the rulings it's because I'm gaining experience, not because I don't care. Unfortunately these partners require a get in, get out, go home type of game. |
Get in, get done, get out.
Thanks mick |
After you get through the game, as soon as you can...block him.
But I agree, call it by the rules and if the coach(s) starts to complain direct them to your partner. |
I had a partner who told me in pre-game he was not going to call a certain rule the right way, even though we got a directive from about we were to call it by the book. I reminded him of that, but he was politely adament.
All you can do is remember him at rating time. |

Ever....and says if you want higher level games he better not see it called

And not 100% certain but I think other active members on here work for the same assignor in IL.
