Not a good start
Alright fellas... I'm now a 3rd year V official and need some advice on this one.
Our LJ is a veteran official. Last night JV Game - late in the 4th quarter wit team A up 42-12 - 2nd and 3rd stringers in... Team A runs a reverse (I agree - not good) for about a 40 yard TD. From the LJ comes this long thrown flag into the offensive backfield. I am the U and see this guy come to the referee who asks him what he has. I already know the answer he is going to give as this is the 2nd time in my time with him that he has done this... He looks at the clock and says" I've got a hold on 42-6" meaning that he doesn' think the coach should be running reverse up by this margin. I'm instantly pissed! After the game in the locker room as I get out of the shower... he is asking our rookie - Do ya know why I called this... blah blah blah. I speak up and tell him in front of the crew chief..."I don't think this is right - I don't think it is our job to officiate that way - Will never do it... etc - even though I agree with him that it is unsportsmanlike... Thoughts? How would you handle?

Yes, it's unsportsmanlike, but that's not our decision to make. One says that what goes around comes around ... but who knows - this may have been the "come around". Call the game - don't make stuff up.

When a person makes the decision to become a crew chief this is one of the responsibilities they take on. You should address your concerns with your crew chief and hopefully, he will do his job and address it before it gets out of hand.
I understand where the LJ is coming from but, as previously stated, it is not his responsibility to address the poor sportsmanship demonstrated by A. This is the responsibility of the schools administration.

The score doesn't matter. In fact, he might have taken away the only TD that player scored all year. That official is not a veteran official. He has 1 year of experience x times.

A person like that on my crew would find himself looking for another crew.
I've "fired" two people the second and third year of my crew and since then the current guys have been together for five years. OP, maybe it's time to find a new crew yourself.

I am the crew chief on my crew and I would have no problem with one of my crewmates questioning another about a call of this nature.

I think how this is handled depends on the crew. My crew has very experienced officials and we talk about all kinds of situations openly. And everyone on my crew has a leadership position or is a very accomplished official in their own right. I would have said something if I disagreed with it and no one would have left this to the crew chief because he is the crew chief. Then again that is how we do it.
Peace

From a coach's perspective, I think the players who usually warm the bench look at it as a new game when they go in. Forget 42-12, that game's over. In their heads they're keeping a new score from the time the benches were cleared. Oh, and they don't care about that holding call, they're counting the TD.
