IMO (and experience) if a coach wants to 'go behind your back' and call an assignor he'll do so, regardless of what you say to him. Once he calls, the assignor can:
1. tell him he's full of sh1t and shut him up
2. agree the coach is right (for whatever reason) and take it out on the official
3. decide he doesn't have the full story & dig further ....resulting in 1 or 2.
