That would be a factor in my mind if I were the conference assignor or supervisor.

Agree...if there are 100 schools you be assigned to and avoiding his lead eliminates 8, then it might be a good idea. However, if there are 15 schools in the area, I'd draw the line differently. It isn't so much the presence of an actual conflict but the appearance of a conflict. We don't need to create any more suspicion than necessary. It is quite possible that, near the end of the season, you could be on a game that, while it doesn't involve his team, may have a direct impact on final standings and playoff implications.
