Since I worked both a Regional final and the State final last year, I can testify as to how it is done here.
The officials associations have total control when it comes to playoff assignments. The coaches get no say at all. The ADs get no say at all. For the reasons that you gave and some others, I believe this is a good thing.
In NV there are three associations for the officials. North, East, and South. There are three Regional tournaments. Two in Vegas and one up North due to population distribution.
The southern association handles both Vegas regionals. The North or East handle the other based upon where it is played.
Each officials association has a board, president, and/or an assignor who picks the playoff officials.
For the state tournament, each of the three associations is allocated a certain number of slots on the games by the state office. (The number of officials in the group and the location of that year's state tournament determine how many.) All of our games are done DSC. Each separate association then fills those slots however it wants.
My group is very good about not sending the same people year after year.
