Wrong. An assignor would take your azz off his availabilty list if you pulled crap like that. Assignors aren't real happy when their officials start to make up their own rules. That's because, unlike Rec leagues, assignors usually deal with coaches that understand rules that pertain to them. And when coaches get pissed off because some official who doesn't know the basic rules screws them, then they call the assignor and say real nasty things to him- like "WTF are you doing sending me that moron?". And the assignor is stuck for an answer because the coach has every damn right in the world to be mad. Noooooooo, assignors don't like to get phone calls like that. Soooooo, if they get more than 1 or 2 about a certain official, that official may return to the rec leagues from whence he came- never to be sighted again in meaningful games.
