The same is true here, but it occurred to me that in an area where the games are assigned by the ADs and the officials have to contact those folks for games, not an association or office, then it would be logical for such a phone call to take place. Someone from PA will have to chime in and let us know how the assignments are handled in that area.
This is actually the district in which I work. Assignments are made by an assignor, not the schools. We are actually expected to communicate with schools only for logistical concerns (i.e. time of game, confirming assignments, etc.). Any matters relating to the game itself are to be funneled through the assignor. This is not to say that the officials on the game (I do not know who had the game, so have not talked with these guys) did not deviate from this and actually call the AD, but they are not supposed to.
