At the JV level, the records usually don't count for much (except pride) so in the big picture, it probably doesn't make much difference if this one school uses this one teacher.

However, from the viewpoint of the local officials' association, if the association has an agreement with the school's league that the league will only use that association's officials, then the association has a legitimate complaint. Its members are not getting assignments (and therefore, game checks) that they should be receiving.

As an official, I would report this to my local association. I'm not a coach, but I think I would probably report the incident to the league or state athletic association.

In our league we have a JV championship. The top two in our league compete on the same night as the Varsity Championship. So to me and the other 6 JV coaches in our league, this is a big deal.
