REPLY: The problem with a coach being asked to subjectively evaluate an official's performance and his perceived ability to officiate various levels of the game is just that -- its subjectivity. Leave subjectivity to supervisors' observations. The coach should be asked simple questions that have unequivocal answers that can't be disputed. Answers to questions that are subjective in nature--especially with regard to an official's knowledge, positioning, and judgement--will invariably be filtered through the lens of the coach's last experience (i.e. "game") with the official. That may lead to inflated or deflated extremes, neither of which add any value to an evaluation process.
