What is the clear conflict of interest?

I am suggesting that if the state ran the assigning this would not be an issue. Just like at the NCAA level you do not have conferences assign post season games, the NCAA does. And I think there is something really wrong with coaches directly getting involved in the assigning even if it is one umpire. It just sounds shady to have official's organizations fighting over who works a post season game and cause this kind of conflict. Sorry, it just does not make sense to me because I have never had to deal with this kind of issue.
