I am not saying he cannot be disappointed, but if the AD wants to hold games on other nights, that is their right to do just that. And if that eliminates kids to participate, then that is just what you will have to deal with. Just saying that the AD does not have to care or should care what a local league does unless he/she values that league so much that he gives them what they want. But that is not always the case and not much different than what our associations have had to deal with when we meet at schools.

The HS AD is asking Mark's league to move their games (which are not played in his facility) to another night. You're right, the AD shouldn't care, but he apparently does.
I would say Mark's league shouldn't care what the AD wants, they aren't using his gym. OTOH, the AD apparently could tell the MS AD's to be less accomodating to Mark's leage. Not due to any facility conflict, but because the AD is blaming the rec league for lower-than-expected attendance numbers at Friday night varsity games.
Normally, I wouldn't have an issue with accomodating the AD, but according to Mark, a change in schedule would negatively affect the league.
