Certainly local assignors have an ongoing dialogue with coaches, AD's, etc., but playoff and provincial championship assignments are made by a committee of senior officials and/or local executive officers.

Our system must seem downright dictatorial to you folks
You cannot say coaches have no input and then say the assignors talk to them. They might not be the decision makers, which is the way it should be, bu they still have input.
