Our local football association has strict guidelines about what IS a conflict of interest, and encourages it's officials to make it known if they feel there may be a conflict that isn't included in the guidelines.
Our problem is in softball. I'm the UIC, and have all of 3 people working for me. Occasionally, some can't work. I actually had one game with me at the plate, and Jerry in the field. Jerry's wife coached one team, and his best friend for all his life coached the other team. (Luckily for Jerry it went smoothly with very few close plays!)
