Not everyone here sucks. There are some really good, well-trained umpires here. You just aren't going to get that good training from many of the associations here (who have no assigning role) is all.
My theory when stuff like this happens is that the schools/leagues get exactly what they deserve. If they're willing to hire jokers like this, they get exactly what they deserve.

Congratulations on being part of a system in which you can work as much as you like. I miss those days. Assigners here think that every umpire working the same number of games, regardless of ability, is a good thing.
Umpires with ability benefit from a system using hired assigners less than any other participant in such a system. ADs benefit most, followed by assigners themselves, then bad umpires. Good umpires gain little.
