Yep....move on. Some people just don't want to be helped and you can't make them.

Depending on your position in your organization, it might even warrant a conversation with the assignor or trainers. This may or may not be appropriate depending on how things are done in your area.

I had that guy last season in a JV game. He showed up about one minute into the game with his shoes one covered with snow.Yes,I had to wipe off the court! He was a newbee and and never in position,never let me know what he was calling and would never start a BC count. Said he did'nt need to if there was'nt any pressing. Sure enough a trap was set and I as lead had to come back and call a 10 second when I had about 13 seconds off the clock. Any advice I gave him he just blew off.
Told the AD that I did not want to work with him again as a partner. This year I never got called back and found out that the guy was the ADs brothers son-in-law.

Is your area big enough that you were able to get games elsewhere? Hope so.

I evaluate a good deal of Rec Officials in one of my Associations. I had a situation a few yrs where I observed a terrible official (didn't run, barely crossed half court, didn't count, appeared to be lazy and not care, etc.), and told the Assignor. Turns out the terrible ref was the Assignor's younger brother. Good thing was, ther terrible ref was never asked back. WINNER!
