Whether I agree with that philosophy or not, I understand it. And as Camron has said, I would likely do the same thing. Earning your assigner's trust is a very important thing. I do believe that you can break into that "ring of trust" if you work hard enough and have some patience.

Good job or the job the coaches want? If a coach shows his backside, will a crew in your area hesitate to whack/eject the coach because the coach has influence over the assignor?
