I dont agree with the fact that he is still being scheduled games and now tomorrow i have a high profile games with him. our assigner is unwilling for whatever reason to remove him from this game. my question is this. Would you guys remover yourself from the game or just suck it up
?
IMO, what one does (with exceptions that I will not get into in this thread) is THEIR own business.

Different twist.

After the game the "boys" go out and have a few and unfortunately one of them gets a DWI.

Would you work with this person? Should this persons assignments be taken away from him?

We can go on and on. This person most likely has a high profile game because he is a good official and IMO that's all you should be concerned with.

You are not Judge and jury so do the game.
