I am not in favor of coaches rating officials primarily for 3 reasons:
1. Most coaches can't connect an official with a name; especially difficult when working assignments vs. crews as we do
2. Coaches do not understand mechanics, philosophy, and many don't know the rules. How can they rate you on these fundamentals when they do not have a general, let alone thorough understanding of the criteria for determining the ratings?
3. Ratings will clearly reflect their emotions which many times are governed by whether they win or lose. We provide games cards that we encourage coaches to use to rate us per game. It's amazing how good we are on the nights that a coach wins and how terrible we are on the nights that they lose.
