Thing is, if assigner A gets me a game on Thursday night, and assigner B calls me 2 days later with a game on the same Thursday night, I don't feel that it would be right for me to accept the game from assigner B and then have to turn around to assigner A and say "sorry, something's come up, I can't do that game on Thursday". If I do that too many times, pretty soon I'm not going to get calls from assigner A anymore. Better to tell assigner B "Sorry, I'd love to do the game(s), but I'm already booked on Thursday."

I do not have much of a problem with anything you said here. I am not talking about someone calling you 2 days before anything. That is always dicey unless the person asking knows the situation that you are currently in. But most assignors where I am from not only understand this, they would be glad that you are hired by someone that is put you at a higher level. And it is a lot easier to find someone for a rec. league than it is a high school game on a big night like Friday.
A lot of this discussion is local anyway. What happens in your area or my area is not likely to apply to everyone.
Peace
