Getting games is a matter of getting a reputation. If you have a good assignor, he will call you with a game. If the first two or three times he calls, you turn back the game, he might never call you again. What I do is when he calls me is ask about dates down the road that are open. If he has time to talk he will fill those slots with you. If not he will be calling later to fill them. I will also corner him at meetings and ask, what dates are open. I will go to him with the attitude that I will take a 3rd grade girls game if it is available. I will take the JV game of the big rivalry if I can get it just so I can watch the varsity game. But I am there not to make the assignors job a pain. I want everything he has available. But take only the games I can do because of availability and ability to call. In time, the assignor will be calling you asking you to call that big game.
