This is how it works here. If you get a call for a college game, the HS assignor will replace you, and you get to keep the rest of your HS games.

Now, if you had the college game for weeks and then get a HS assignment but turn it back, he's not going to be too happy that you didn't block out that date. Do that enough times and he may just stop giving you games.

That's one of the things that led to the mess we have down here now. The commissioner didn't like college officials if they didn't make HS their priority.

It makes a LITTLE more sense in football, as 90% of the HS games are Fridays and 90% of the college games are Saturdays, and he likely doesn't want tired and sleepy officials on the field.

Basketball, with scheduling any old day and multiple games a week, it seems to make less sense to me.

Sounds like an assignor in this area who got peeved when my son turned in a G-JV pre-season scrimmage in favor of a D-League game!!!!
That assignor no longer needs to worry about any future conflicts..

Now that was good!! :D
