I would not go that far. JR sometimes does talk in a bit of a vacuum, but that does not mean "Cappy" is right either. "Cappy" likes to also act as if we are somehow obligated to make the coach happy. We are apart of the same game but we do not have the same role. And when we start cow towing to a coach, we are going to lose our purpose as officials
As a matter of fact remember most assignors are fellow officials. The camp I was at an assignor said the minute he gets a recommendation from a coach, you are done. In his opinion coaches cannot be trusted because they often have agendas.
Also I have almost always been supported by an assignor when I am doing my job. Coaches complain that is what they do. I agree that coaches have some influence, but they certainly do not play such a role that I have to do my job based on who they are.
