What you have described is very similar to what happens here. More and more assignors are going to the electronic method to assign games and to know the availability of their officials. I do not have to give a schedule to many assignors anymore because of the use of assigning software, but I still keep certain assignors up to date with my schedule the same way Larks described. I do not see anything wrong with doing this and it is encouraged in my area. There are always last minute changes and assignors want to do as little work as possible to look for replacements.

I have not read the article yet (I just got my copy today) so I will have to see what it says for myself and see why the author would take that position.
