The problem I see with coaches getting involved is -- you want a good rating from them - so you may not call the game exactly how it needs to be called. Unfortunately an official may say -'if I let this holding go -- maybe Coach______ will remember me and give me a favorable rating'. Maybe that doesn't happen - but I can't see how a coach needs to be in the decision making process at all.
Plus - if an official gets playoff games - he'll know that some coaches had a positive impact on him getting those games - and the next year - he may want to 'help them out' for their generosity. I would hope not but..........
Too many things can enter into it with coaches having a say in it - and I can't think of too many positives that can come from it.
