I remember back when I was coaching, we were asked two questions on the ratings forms for officials. We were asked to give a score for those officials we had for our games, and then we were also asked to check them off if we felt they were post-season caliber officials. I lost just about every game, but still rated the officials on their quality. Every one of the officials that I had a chance to rate, I gave high ratings and recommended them for postseason work. I think about 3/4 of the ones I checked for postseason actually ended up doing some postseason games.
