There's a HS assignor in my area who tells officials if they give back one of his games for a JUCO/NCAA game he'll pull their schedule. Now that's nuts.

And yet he's well within his right to do that.

Me, I think that's counterproductive. As an assignor, I'd want officials to be able to work at higher levels and gain that experience and use it to make the games he works for me better and the people he works with better, too.

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.

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..
