I am cordial like I am with all coaches. Not sure what the deal is. Any advice, should I just let it go and not worry about it. This is the first time I have ever been scratched from a game before (that I know of) Just thought you guys might be able to offer some insights. Thanks
I wonder if it's possible the coach had you confused with somebody else? But that's really beside the point...your assignor needs to be more of a stand-up kind of person. That accusation by the coach is serious, and obviously it's important to both teams at every game to give the appearance of being fair. The fact that he didn't even call you to respond to the coach's comment speaks volumes. If assignors around here acted like that, there'd be nobody left to officiate games.

How many games does this guy give you per season? Unfortunately there's probably not a lot you can do...but if it were me, I'd make sure I stay in touch with a few other assignors to keep my options open...
