Would you or wouldn't you agree that having coaches and athletic directors rating and assigning games really undermines the integrity of the officials working the games? As Axe Man has stated, it makes you think twice about flagging a coach, or maybe even the team. Hopefully, the crew goes out and gives a solid performance, not worrying about offender, but focusing on doing their best and making the right calls. You would hope that the coaches could recognize a good crew for what they are, but I wonder if coaches are more inclined to select officials that they know won't call "this" or will call "that." I would fear this would make the officials more lenient to certain teams that they know will be in the post season, as opposed to the weaker programs, giving the better school the edge not only in their skills, but with the officials as well.
With that being said, what do you think the pros and cons are with having coaches rank officiating crews as opposed to other officials ranking officials? Thoughts?
