Depends on who I was in the situation. If I had any decision making responsibilities in these orgs, I would not let him officiate. Letting him work is doing a disservice to the kids, the coaches, the parents, and the other officials.

If I did not have any decision making control here, I would do as you're doing, continuing to make an issue of it.

PS - I had 6 13-year old girls take a 1 hour class and then take the volleyball test. They all passed.

there are some weak officials out there.
there are some other factors to consider.
Supply and demand. sometimes there is a greater need than supply and you have to take what you can get. That does not sound like the case.

Then there is the social welfare program.

I am a D1 official and get about a third of the HS matches that a ref that does not know backrow or rotation and makes random ball handling calls.

But it is all good. I don't like working 7 days a week.

And, I would have aced my NCAA rules test, but my down arrow on my laptop changed 3 of my answers. Crap....

We live and die by our assigners (and/or organization certifier). You gave your information and recommendation. move on.

Move on!

If you are not a power player in your association, they will not appreciate you constantly bring up their faulty decisions, no matter how "right" you are.

This cannot help you. You will only be seen as the boat-rocker. The complainer. If you get assigned with this official, be ready to work the contest without much help.

Don't mention it any more. Save yourself!
