In my area, only the officials have access to other officials contact information which is good. As far as not having any contact what so ever with the assignor, that would be very difficult as often times officials "turn-back" games at the last minute due to an emergency, sickness or injury. During these times, it is necessary for the assignor to speak to a replacement directly.
Billy, our assignors are members of the official's association. We contact them for turn-backs and they contact replacements. The schools have nothing to do with it.
PS I didn't say no contact whatsoever with the assignor. I said with the school ADs and coaches.
