"He makes his own rules up, doesn't know the real rules, flirts with the adult coaches and wants to be the show, instead of regulating the game, which should be the show"

That could have been me, talking about my "partner from hell" in a Women's FP league last summer. I nearly walked off the field last summer, but decided to stick it out for the player's sake. Told the city's Rec Director to give me a new partner or replace me, but I will never walk on the field with him again.

As luck would have it, he was in a pool of umpires for a H.S. tournament a week ago - and I was paired with him. I talked with the AD and insisted that she change the pairings so I was not on the same field.

It is terrible to feel this way about a fellow umpire, but he is so bad (defiant, arrogant, and unwilling to change, even when shown to be wrong) that I would be ashamed to be associated with him.
