Just curious, but how are the ECs assigned? It's interesting that it's one specific person. How many applicants are assigned to each EC?

Not only does it vary with each region and location, it also varies with each EC.
I have some EC's in my region who gladly will take 15 candidates per year, others who only want 3 or 4. I know of several regions where every high school has an assigned EC, and all candidates from that HS automatically get that EC. I know of regions where every candidate is automatically assigned to the regional coordinator (RC) for that region, who then parcels them out amongst his or her EC's. It varies a lot.
We will change assigned EC's for a whole bunch of reasons. One year I had a candidate due to fly in to interview with me at roughly the same week
that my wife was due to give birth to our daughter. I reassigned that candidate to another EC, as I could not guarantee that I could attend the scheduled interview. We have had EC's who went on holiday at the time that the candidate most wanted to be interviewed.
There is no stigma attached to being reassigned, it does happen all the time. You will get an interview, from a properly trained EC, who will do their level best to answer all of your questions about MIT and who will know what to look for in the interview.
Oh and yes, our EC reports do get graded by the admissions office.
