I didn't read all the responses, but this is my take:
1. There is a school that I have purposely not assigned myself to because of a situation earlier this season. I just don't want or need the perception that I have it out for this coach. Like Rut said, there are plenty other schools I can work at.
2. I had a DII assignor in WV that would remove an official at the coach's request...he would remove the official from any home games and purposely put that official on that team's road games.
3. During my last game with one coach in Mississippi I gave the coach a T. I walked away immediately. When I got into the locker room, my partner told me that the coach said, "You will never work at ______again". If I would have known that on the court I would have thrown the coach out. I had not made it public at the time, but I was retiring from the Air Force and planned on moving back to Vegas after the season anyway - I will probably never see the coach again. But if I do I have one in my back pocket for him.
