what concerns would you bring up to your assignor

I agree with most of this but in this one case, specially the issue with the assistant coach standing, and openly disagreeing with partner. Hell yea, you got to report that. What you are doing by reporting this is teaching this moron the rules, and it's insulting to go against your partner in front of the coaches. However, remember Deecee, this is AAU type program and possibly not a lot is going to be done. But I would still mention it and next time, do not engage in this type of discussion with partner in front of coaches. It makes both of you look bad, IMO. I would back off and just try to get thru the games.

I'll never forget when I T the AC for standing and then told the HC he has to remain seated. The ironic thing is I warned them. But what made me give them the T was that the AC was complaining and they had a 10 point lead. Now that's 2 things that's wrong. Now guess what. I know that call got back to my assigner because I did not get any games with that school this year, and I had always gotten a game before. I am not in any way disappointed about that because I don't want to work them anyway, anymore, ever. They are jerks.
