It has nothing to do with being good. Every conference has a different assignor in this area (or state in general). If you want to work more than 10 games you better work for different people here as a general rule. And our associations do not assign anything (as a rule as well) so we get games from all different sources. That includes high school and college.

We do not operate like other places obviously.

In my association, the varsity and jv assignors are both appointed by our board of directors. I have never had an issue with either one of them. But then again, I went out of my way to get to know them and make myself available to them. Like others have said, take a look at yourself before you blame the assignors.

however after being a hs assigner for 10 years an officiating small college basketball for 17 years, here is what I have learned.

Maybe this will help you.

At the high school level, assigners only really care about 10% of the games.

If you live in DC it is the DeMatha/Gonzaga game. In Philly it is most likely

Roamn Catholic / Nueman - Goretti. Otherwise they are just covering games.

An assigner will identify talent and try to move that guy along over the

course of time. There are a % of guys who are in it for the money only.

Most guys on this site don't fit that example. Sometimes an assigner may

be trying to help you with geographics and travel and you get a garbage

game.

If you go to camp, let your assigner know. Remember though, it is

really important that you are LOW MAINTAINANCE. I would never call

a college assigner, the way some of my hs guys call me. Do your job.

If your assigner never calls you, that is a good thing. Accept you games in

a timely fashion. I see guys all the time that "HOLD" games hoping

that something better may come along from another assigner.


Finally as important as you think your schedule may be, remember that he

also has 50 other officials who think that their schedule is the most

important thing going. And don't forget the A.D.'s and coaches. In the big

picture, we are all only a small fish in a HUGE sea.......
