Coach,
I had a similar situation to yours a couple of years ago and this is how I handled it. My situation may be a little different because I had umpired in this association for few years before I moved into coaching so I had a bit of a relationship with the assignor.
Basically, I called up the assignor and expressed a few of my concerns about this individual that we were getting almost every game. I then told him that, as a coach, my judgment may be a little clouded so, could you, or someone you trust, come out and watch this guy work and then talk with me after the game about some of my concerns. Well, he came out, watched and after we chatted. Some of the things he agreed with, some he told me were “whiney rat” issues as some of you say. He then told me he would talk with the individual, maybe arrange for some additional training in some areas and see what he could do about not scheduling him so much at our games.
