The assignor decides who gets which games. Coaches don't have any role in that decision making process.

As an 18 year old HS senior, the first time I could get certified in PA, I was assigned varsity games while guys 2-3 times my age and with years of experience doing FED were never given varsity games. (Of course I was kept away from doing my school's varsity games.)

It just came down to who the assignor felt comfortable giving games to. I knew the rules and mechanics better than anyone else in our HS association and the assignor realized that I was ready. Other guys just refused to learn the differences between FED and OBR and/or had horrible mechanics and were given JV or Freshman games.

IMO that is the way it should be done.
