Disagree. See no problem with the home team official's assignor assigning umpires. Problem is when this is not understood.

Here, state finals are assigned by an assigned association that is known before year starts so it is possible for a team's home association to officiate, and always a state selected neutral site. The state finals officials work 4 man crews for several games before the finals.

Something appears to be wrong. Bottom line get playoff assigning away from associations when there is a clear conflict of interest if teams are not playing from the same conference or games are assigned by the same association.

Not sure I see your point. Are you suggesting that umpires are biased toward the conferences they normally work in and umpires for a game must be from different association than either of the two teams playing?

What is the clear conflict of interest?

I am suggesting that if the state ran the assigning this would not be an issue. Just like at the NCAA level you do not have conferences assign post season games, the NCAA does. And I think there is something really wrong with coaches directly getting involved in the assigning even if it is one umpire. It just sounds shady to have official's organizations fighting over who works a post season game and cause this kind of conflict. Sorry, it just does not make sense to me because I have never had to deal with this kind of issue.

Peace
