There are probably pros and cons to each systems.
I have heard of officials who were blackballed by certain schools/coaches etc... In our area, all games are assigned by our zone assignor who is elected annually. I work for two assignors (one for HS one for college) thus if a coach wants to stop from doing his games, he has to convince my assignor and our assignors do not do that unless the issue is lack of professionalism. The downside of our system is that you may may not feel that your assignor treats you right. My experience has been that the guys who think they should doing better games are not as good as they think they are. Our assignors are generally fair.
And yes assignors get 8% our fees but they work very hard for that. The number of calls/e-mails is quite staggering.
