Ed:
Wouldn't you agree that over the season, with, say 15 football assignments, or 40+ basketball assignments, that a consistent critique from coaches would be useful? Yes, much of the critique, especially from losing coaches, may not be useful, but that doesn't discount what is. Coaches are about the only ones who can evaluate how a coach handles an official, even though the evaluator would read the coaches review differently than the coach wrote it.
In Texas, UIL requires coaches to agree on district game varsity officials, whether 2 or 3 in hoops, or 5 in football. They have a "draft" in the spring (football, Dallas Chapter) and a listing (basketball, Dallas chapter) that forms the basis of game assignments. Playoff games are assigned based on coaches agreeing, i.e., "we'll get the Austin chapter to assign the officials, but I don't want any Aggies on that crew..."
So, in terms of "fox guarding the henhouse", sorry, but my experience is they already do.
