We have conference assignors here. Our association membership means almost nothing in us getting assignments and that is the way it should be. I work for most conference assignors I want to work for and those I don't, I am not missing anything. Pretty much the NCAA model of assigning and I love it. The assignors are accountable to their conference, not some political organization where guys can get away with only hiring guys from one association. Also the state assigns all the playoff games, so that puts the onus on the assignors to get people they will see in the tournament.

Again, to each his own.
