Now you have gone and told a LIE. The reason your calling is because you don't think he is doing a good job. Tell the assignor the truth or don't call.
How about this instead, "
Hey jim this is so and so and I am the coach of the blah blah Team, in the 14u league. Your guys are doing a great job this year and we really appreciate having them for our games. However, it seems as though we tend to see a lot of So and So and he gets more than his fair share of close calls, and rule interpretations, and I think his percentage of getting them right is not comparable to the other guys. Plus, since we see him so often he is building up a reputation with the fans. It would be better if we did not see him as often.". Be ready with some specific examples such as you have mentioned.
If there is a league adminstrator for this league it would be better for this call to come from him, so it don't sound like a coach complaining. It would also be better if the administrator has actually observed the umpire instead of just taking second hand information.
