Something to think about...Last year my assignor was filling out contracts, talking with A.D.s, etc. when one a.d. in particular said to not send any umpires from my town (population 160). I was stunned because I knew I had worked good games for his teams. As the season went on, this school had me at an away game. My assignor asked the coach afterward what his issue concerning me was. The coach replied that it wasn't me he had a problem with, but a different official that I had worked with a year prior who was from the same small town as me. My point is that I almost got a bad reputation because of a partner I had that the coach was very dissatisfied with. There are times that we have to let our associations know to protect ourselves, especially when they've only heard one side of the story. This could have prevented me from ever working at this school again.
