But these are the same people who do the evaluations, so you do what you have to do.

There can never be a firm stance on it. You're dealing with situations and personalities (coaches and officials) that are as varied as anything can be. Basically, it's an art. Those that work college for more than one assignor can tell you this. They have to change things they do from game to game to match what each assignor wants....the assignors never agree on how things should be done. The ones that can adapt from game to game to keep each assignor happy last the longest.
