Depends on the assignor and the reason. Of course there are assignors that will not send you to places, but there are many that will send you back or need more than the word from the AD to make that claim. And in some cases the coaches have absolutely no say in that issue. Most ADs are professional and do not seem to get that involved in that process. But I work so many leagues I am not going to see every team and in some cases will not see teams for years; I really do not worry about those things. But I have not worked a game because of these so called conflicts that we are talking about. I have worked my alma mater before. It really was not a big deal.
