I figured you would do the right thing. Which assignor have you worked for the longest...the "newer" assignors should understand you have multiple commitments to honor. If I was assigning games and was told by an official that he wanted to wait until he had gotten his schedule from someone with whom he had a longer relationship, I would respect that. I would have to tell him that I would wait as long as possible to schedule my games and he needed to understand I may not have much left when he knows his availability.
I may be old school, but I would much rather have someone be up-front with me even if they knew I might not like the answer than someone who intentionally created work for me for self-centered reasons. Good character carries a lot of weight with me and I have been known to bend over backwards for someone who demonstrates it in their dealings with me. You can never be too ethical.
