I am pretty sure it is only discressionary if JV officials are not Class I - the coaches do not have the authority to not use a class I official if avaialble at that time.
The only other time a choice can be made is if there is an official in the stands or near by (dad) they must be mutually acceptable to the coaches.

that is from a few years ago it may have changed I try not to think of such things.
