But if you DO choose to report such things to your assignor, the assignor should not put you in the penalty box for it (unless you're doing it all the time.).

This is why I said it is really all predicated on the individual you are dealing with. I know I sometimes get asked about people because of who I am to those assignors or what I have done with them previously. I am also in a leadership role with my state, so that would be a different conversation. This would also be a different conversation if a multi-state final official or maybe college official. But if I was a first year guy or new to varsity, no I totally agree with others that it would probably not be the best thing. But I do agree with you that on some level you should be able to be open and honest with any assignor when needed. And if someone is causing a problem and they are not aware, then they could create further problems down the road. Then again there are certain assignors I would never comment to about my partners. You really need to know who you are dealing with in these situations.
