I'm of the opinion that the band director only knows Bb fingerings and so feels he can't yell out fingering corrections when there's a note fingered wrong. E.g he can't teach what he doesn't know. The makes him feel more helpless than he already is, not being good at low brass.
If I were the student, I'd present him with a C tuba fingering chart, and carry my fine horn for playing. And ignore his yamoring. But then I nearly always told my academic advisors, "THIS IS WHAT I'M GOING TO TAKE."
