Coaches don't want us to have any influence in their promotion or demotion so I wouldn't want them to have an influence on mine. In our chapter the coaches are asked to rate us based upon our performance not based upon the result of the game. One game the winning teams coach rated me 5 out of 5. The losing teams coach rated 1 out of 5. Which one do you use? In most cases the coaches aren't even watching the officials as they are watching their players. In order to rate an official you have to be an expert at mechanics and that would require watching the officials. When we are rated by coaches we ask that they put comments on the rating card and these ratings are strictly for the officials to review to see what improvements they can make.
