I, as an official, would hate to have to commit to a specific Tuesday night for HS ball game 2 years away. That seems like it is skewed very much against the officials and very much for the assignors.

Your system is just different. It's not necessarily better.
And I do our sport schedules, not the schools, so the schedules are always 2 years in advance. It's what's expected here.
I'd be happy to schedule officials later. But when all the other assigners schedule in advance I lose the ability to hire the better officials.
BTW, I have a game scheduled for February 2018. I probably won't get to 17-18 till next summer.
