You would be surprised. Sometimes these guys in my experience are more concerned with keeping their jobs, then supporting the officials. And I get that thinking on many levels, but many assignors do not have the official's best interest at heart when they take these complaints. If you are not happy about the job we are doing, hire someone else or keep us away from that school. But do not try to micro manage a situation when you may not know the entire story, other than talking to an AD.

I do get it if you feel the official did not do their job, but why tell the official what the AD said? All that does is bring the wrong kind of thinking about that AD and that school to the official.

And I am speaking also from having a recent conversation with an assignor who came to me about a coach that was by all accounts an a-hole (said by both my partners long before I knew for myself).

I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's a much higher % the AD is a former coach than a former official...so there ya go

It's all been said, but in the second game... the coach that jumps up and slaps the floor with both hands that is an automatic T.
