Getting into the Rich/Jeff debate, I suppose it depends quite a bit on how things are run in your area. Out here, I get (almost) all of my games from my association and from a single assigner. It should be easy for us to have consensus and consistency within the area that we serve.
But if you work for multiple conferences and belong to many associations and those associations don't have a way of putting any teeth into enforcing how they want things done because they don't control the assigning, then getting consensus would pretty impossible, and therefore to some degree irrelevant.
And if you work in an area where the ADs do all the assigning and crews are independent, I can see how getting consensus/consistency would be a rather informal, but important process.
Different systems; different priorities; different realities.

This is not a big deal at all where I live. I have never known anyone to suggest that they need to call a timeout in this manner. Most conference assignors where I live are not drastically different from each other. Really the expectations of the leagues come more from the coaches and administration than the actual assignors themselves. Actually often the top officials work in many conferences and they do not change that drastically because they work for different people if at all. And where I live associations are more about where people live and where they want to attend meetings.
