Should you officiate with integrity - or officiate to please an assignor? The problem in our area is that the school's AD is sometimes the assignor. In other districts - they have conference commissioners which are basically assignors - and in two districts where I work they are staff members of a school. I can't worry about what they want - I have to call what I see regardless of the result or I seriously lack in integrity. Some calls require more judgement - but stepping on a line is pretty obvious and you can't intentionally kick a call like that and still maintain your integrity. I think in the end the assignors with integrity will think more highly of you as an official if you make these calls instead of looking the other way. You need to be consistent. Just my opinion.

Doesn't it depend on what we're calling a "toe"? If you mean an 1/8th inch of shoe rubber, I probably won't call that unless my partner has already called it once or twice. If you mean enough shoe that my actual whole big toe is on the line, then yea, it's gotta be called no matter what.
