Also how about the coaches rating the officials throughout the year and get the highest rated refs to officiate the finals.
Will the officials get to rate the coaches and decide who gets to coach in the finals?
Exactly. Why are the coaches "qualified" to evaluate officials but nobody ever asks us about how well the coaches do their jobs?
At my old association we did get to comment on how well the coaches did their job. We presented an award for the "best and fairest" coach voted on by referees. There was also a referee's representative on the Board of Directors of the association that was responsible for appointing coaches. That way if a coach had repeated run-ins with referees it could be raised when they applied for a job the next season.

Seemed to work pretty well....
