Second, in regard to the assignor pulling games and how they would be better served to not work for such an assignor. It is ignorant to think that this doesn't happen. Look at any level you choose, and you will find that referees have been suspended for various duration for various things. You certainly have a right to not work for any assignor, but in the end the assignor is responsible to the schools serviced. Like it or not, the schools have input on the officials that they want on their floors and the assignors take a certain amount of input from them. Coach K, for example gets to take ACC officials on non-conference road trips

I noticed another regional difference in your post. Not everyone has the option to work for who they like. That affects how certain rules are applied and to what extent they are applied. I work for multiple assignors and each has their own quirks they want followed or mechanics that they want applied. I have read many here talk about how their association elects the assignors or the association assignor gives them all their games. That does not happen here. The conferences hire their own assignors and if officials want to work for them, they must contact that assignor or attend that assignorÂ’s camp. Just because you work for one assignor does not mean other assignors will hire you. Assignors are clearly individuals and many do not like each other or respect each other.

Peace
You are right on every point. We have several different assignors around here (except HS). The saying is, if you're in so-and-so's gym, call the way they want it called.
