I got a call from one of my assignors today that I have been blackballed from a previously assigned game by the coach. He is a D1 independant and has been working with a pool of 12 officials. That pool has dwindled to 2 because he gets mad if you won't give him "Home Town" calls. He has told several officials that they won't be back because they haven't called the game to his liking. Obviously, I didn't cheat for him either because I cant come back.
I can hardly believe he can get a job at that level with those expectations. At least my assignor has stood up to him and told him we won't work for him ever again. Wow.

Stripes,
If you have not been blackballed from somewhere, you have not been working long enough. This is part of the territory. Many assignors are not going to send you to a bad situation. So just accepted it and thank God you do not have to go back. This coach will probably be fired in a few years or quit and you will go right back to that school. Or you will see him on the road and your assignor will have no say in that game. Consider it a blessing. Peace

Coaches shouldn't have any say in which official goes where.
Is any ref that has done his games where he lost welcome back there??

BITS, Cal will not assign the games after this year. BTW, did you hear I'm moving back?
For everyone else, this place is totally screwed up because the coach has so much say in what occurs there. Blackballing may be a right of passage where you are Jeff, but it has never happened in my neck of the woods. I'm not upset about it, I'm amazed by it. It is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. The coach is a major league @$...le. I don't miss working for him. He would most likely not play the game with officials he didn't want and, being an independant, there is no league to punish him. The AD obviously has no backbone (or thinks the coach is within his right to do this) or he would put a stop to it. Life definitely goes on.

Now this particular assignor decided to tell me or have a conversation with me. I know there are other situations where no one even knows a coach had a conversation with an assignor. The assignor might not just send you back anytime soon. I am sure it happens all over the country, you just do not know when it happens. Maybe you do not see a coach for a couple of years or you do not work certain games, but do not tell me the assignors do not at all consider things coaches tell them. It may not be the main reason and many coaches might have to show some tape to back up there complaints. I just doubt that many assignors go into detail. Just like assignors might listen to other officials and certain coaches more than others. Peace

Stripes,
I did a preseason scrimmage for this coach. What a joke. You should consider yourself lucky not to have to work in front of him again. The fact that there are only two officials left that he will deal with says it all. I know its hard to loose a D1 assignment, but this might be a break for you. I'm not sure the AD has any idea about what is going on. He's a neighbor, and we've spoken a time or two about his program, but he's not mentioned the problem of officials to me. I have a good working relationship with the assignor. He hasn't mentioned any problems on the women's side. However, I'm not sure he assigns them. Can't see why he wouldn't. I've had the privledge to see you officiate a couple of times. Your good! Keep working hard and another break will come your way. |

Glad you are moving back. I think I have heard about this school... Is it the other school in the south and not SUU? They need to get into a conference bad. I do know the administrative vice pres there pretty well, maybe he needs a chat about the antics |
