Iowa high school basketball games postponed due to referee no-show

[26 Year Gap]

The only snafu I have ever had is when the school changed the game time from 2 pm to noon on a Saturday and never informed the assignor. I got a frantic call from the AD as the visiting school was already there. I was an hour away and told him I would leave straightaway. I called my assignor, made several calls to my partner, and ended up working with a JV official for the DH.

I did schedule some of my own games with ADs when I worked a JV schedule, but everything else was via assignors. Here in FL it is totally that way. Sounds to me like someone may not have done due diligence here, and that someone likely was not the crew. (I have had late partners, but those guys have developed those reputations on their own.)
