No, I didn't miss the point. But I do think you finally got the one I was trying to make. At least partially. You serve at the pleasure of your supervisor. You are an independent contractor. He is not your employer, any more than the conference is your employer. Unless, of course, the conference writes game checks. Might want to check your contract.
Most of my game checks come from an assigning agency.
The gentleman who assigns my games runs said assigning agency.
This is the same person who holds the power to say, "Reverend30, no more games."
He says, "Follow NCAA Rulebook, CCA Manual, and CFO/Redding guidelines."
So I do.
Now, there are a few games each year where we are paid directly by the host school. For those games, should I check with that team's (coach/athletic director/president/chief bottlewasher/Pan-Hellenic Council President) to see if I should go with my training, or if they have some other philosophies and points of emphasis they would prefer?
I feel you're being obtuse here. Explain what you mean rather than trying to induce me to understand your point, because I'm not registering it.
