Our assignor is lucky to get schedules from schools two months in advance. No way he could assign that far out, plus the added issue of this being a very transient area with the military aspect.

I guess conference commissioners have more control over scheduling

The conference commissioners make the game schedules AND assign the officials. Clearly, the schools have input on which dates they cannot play, but the fact that one person handles both aspects makes it easier for the commishes to get things done quicker.
