All systems are flawed, but some are more flawed than others. Good officials get lost in the shuffle more under a total coach rating system than any other, in my opinion.

We had an official in our chapter that got two varsity games his last year in HS (before he quit HS in frustration), he went to college (where they use observers to grade out officials) and he worked 4 Big East games this year after working his way up to the A10 first.

I guess you have not heard of the associations that do the assigning thru one official and the many that claim they were not in the loop and never got an opportuntity? I have heard bad things in all systems. I have heard "politics" used in all systems that officials talk about. Even when officials are deciding these things, they can be bias and hold grudges just like coaches. And in many cases they might be competing or have interests that are competing with each other. There is never a perfect system that everyone is going to be happy with.

Peace
