If that's how it worked for you, you don't know the meaning of hustling your own games. You waited for ADs to call, and now you wait for assigners to call. There's no hustle in that.
In my opinion the only people to like the assignor system are those who think they are better than they are and think they should be getting more and bigger games and the assignor is helping them do that because he gets along with them. That or those with an inferiority complex.
Plenty of guys got more and better games based on ability and their own initiative, and now get less of both because assigners have to keep 100 officials happy to keep their jobs; the jobs they want because they love to be in control. Teams and leagues love assigners because it relieves them of the responsibility of getting officials. While lots of officials might like assigners, none worth his salt has any real need for one.
