Maybe a better way of thinking of this is to officiate to the level you are working. Lower level games are there so players can gain experience. Also pay attention to the "tone" of a game. You can tell when you are in a gym where people understand that the players need to play and will understand and sometimes even appreciate bending the rules a little to get players in. Personally though, I would never do this after the JH level. Also, I'm not sure you want to think of these situations as "politics". It seems to be more of a game mangagement issue. Show these AD's that you understand the game and the level you are officiating and the "politics" will take care of themselves.
