"a warning" for anything Non-court related??? I'd tell the assignor "good luck with that.".

Are you saying that we can curse out the secretary at the school and you think that is going to go over well with any assignor? There is more to our job than what we do on the lines. If that was the case I could not show up to games and that should be OK if I get what you are saying.

We are lucky here, as Refs we have ALOT of ball, and it is a pretty small group of Varsity bball refs. 10 guys waiting for a shot for every slot. Additionally, if asked to wear business casual to HS games, I would, but our assignors wouldn't go there. Here you are wanted not needed.

What do you mean "I don't play the politics with assignors?" If the schools do not like the behavior or actions of the officials that are sent to their school, the assignor works for the schools not you. You are an independent contractor, but someone can decide not to use you. It is not their right to give you anything if they choose not to and they do not have to give you a reason why either. It is like going to a job interview, you think most people are going to get jobs going to that interview in jeans and a ripped t-shirt?

Being professional is more than what we do on the court.
