Advice Needed

[La Rikardo]

When assigned with this official, I would treat him with the same kindness and respect I give to all of my officiating partners. Following the games, I might try to offer a few words of respectful advice with regard to his demeanor, positioning, and mechanics on the court. If he is disrespectful or unreceptive, I might contact the assignor about this official's behavior and, if the problems were particularly bad, I might request that the assignor not assign me to work with this official in the future. However, interaction with any partner, even those who are personally frustrating, should always be respectful and courteous, especially on the court in front of players and bench personnel.
