Watch a game between two other teams that aren't in favored status. Are both teams and coaches constantly griping at the officials? It sounds to me that if they are not switching after fouls and are staying at one end that they are picking up bad habits. The whole point of switching is so that you are not constantly at one team's offensive end as lead. Most officials that avoid rec leagues do so for reasons stated earlier. The pay is not the issue here as that is decent for the type of league it is.

Talk to the league administrator as Bob suggested. It may be best to take notes and talk after the season. And have other coaches take notes as well. Then see if your league administrator can have a meeting with the assignor. Maybe the league could pay for an observer from the association to show up once in awhile to do evaluations unannounced.

But the main reason better officials will avoid rec leagues is because the sportsmanship is often non-existent.
