Your Partner

AB,

I know your partner very well. I've work YMCA football games and Dixie games with him in the past. He is a referee in one of the HS association in town, a referee in the SWAC, and calls HS softball. During Y games, he stands in the middle of the field, doesn't run, gives half *** signals, and collects his game fees. He may be a great HS softball umpire (I've never seen him work) but I would be surprised if he has ever read the Dixie rulebook. He assumes that the rules are the same. He doesn't seem to enjoy youth sports and just goes through the motions to get through the game. It can be very disheartening for new officials that enjoy the game and try to learn from experienced officials.
