I don't really think the coaches should have any say in which officials are assigned to their games, unless there has been a proven conflict between that coach and an official.
In my area, all games are assigned by an assignor, and are assigned individually. So the concept of coaches rating officials is foreign to me.
As a rookie, we are started off at the HL, that way all we have to worry about is the sticks. The LJ is primarily responsible for the coaches and team bench areas. So I haven't really had that much experience with a coach on my side of the field let alone one that I had to flag.

Ummmm, I'm a rookie and all, but last I checked, there was a coach on each side of the field, so whether you're HL or LJ, you still got a coach in your ear.
We're so short on officials in my area that even as a rookie, I've already worked 2 Varsity games. I've found that while the coaches are gonna say their piece, most of em come around a few minutes later and it's all good.

Here in Canada, for all ball except the really high calibre ball, the two teams are on the same side of the field, seperated by 20 yards. The sticks are by themselves on the opposite side. Having coaches on the same side rarely (very rarely) causes problems, mostly becuase we're friendly up here.
