I'm not aware of any state that gives coaches and ADs 100% of the decision power on post-season assignments. Perhaps someone else can verify.

He did say "college conferences." That is not a state issue. You are probably right that 100% is a little much, but that does not mean it is not close. College programs do have a lot of say in who does and who does not work. After all the conference is made up of schools and they hire the supervisor. If they do not like the way the supervisor of officials handles or hires officials, they find another person that is willing to do the job the way they want to. Usually the conference trusts the job of the supervisor, but there are conferences that have gotten rid of the supervisor because they did not like the officials or the philosophy of hiring and maintaining the staff.
I can speak from experience. I have worked for two people that were eventually fired from what there conferences for that very thing.
