You may be a little confused here, Chess. There isn't an assignor/evaluator anywhere that will ever tell an official to use make-up calls. They may advise their officials to leave certain calls alone- 3 seconds etc., but absolutely never to use makeup calls. On the contrary, if an assignor/evaluator thinks that one of their guys might have a tendency to use make-up calls, they'd probably either call him on the carpet for it or simply get rid off his butt. Make-up calls are the sign of a weak official- iow an official without any balls(acknowledging that woman officials sureashell do have balls in this context). Assignors don't want those kind of people working for them, and to be quite honest neither do coaches. Coaches may be able to work/influence/cow/scare certain officials into giving them calls, but these people just aren't gonna last at the D1 level.
