Unfortunately the OP has gone "off trend" which seems to be the norm at this Forum lately and it really is a shame as this Forum at one time was one of the best around.
ok to your OP
IMO, we need some clarification to the following statement

1. Did another umpire association contact your association asking for coverage?
2. Are you a "free-lance" umpire who works for various associations?
You said Tournament UIC.
Who is that?
is the Tournament UIC the head of the umpire association whom you agreed to work for?
Also, which rule set were you using?
In NFHS rules the Asst coach does not approach the umpires and I agree with others who said "dump him when he threw a tantrum on Friday Night"
I would not get upset over being switched games but I would keep it in my "memory" banks and not work for this association again. Now we know why this particular teams coach acts the way they do
RE: They do not have to face the consequences. When the UIC sides "with the enemy" and it's travel ball to boot means stay away. Get your money and look for work elsewhere.
