I got a call from one of my assignors today that I have been blackballed from a previously assigned game by the coach. He is a D1 independant and has been working with a pool of 12 officials. That pool has dwindled to 2 because he gets mad if you won't give him "Home Town" calls. He has told several officials that they won't be back because they haven't called the game to his liking. Obviously, I didn't cheat for him either because I cant come back.

I can hardly believe he can get a job at that level with those expectations. At least my assignor has stood up to him and told him we won't work for him ever again.

Wow.
I have always said that if coaches can have input to officials ratings (and blackballing), officials should get input to coaches ratings (and hire/fire).
