Why coaches?

Being from Illinois, as you are, I have questions regarding the advancement procedure here. In moving to R from X, it is another openbook written exam, then from R to C there is a closed book exam, correct?

I hope I'm not talking out of turn, but also being from IL, I might be able to help as well. To go from registered to recognized, you must pass the open book test with 85%, pass the closed-book test (given on a certain date) with 85%, and receive a minimum rating of 2.5 from coaches. To go from recognized to certified, you must pass the open book test with 90%, pass the closed-book test with 85%, and receive a minimum rating of 1.5 from coaches. I believe there is also a minimum number of years between each promotion (either 2 or 3), so you can't go from registered to certified in just two years.
The IHSA website has that info in their Official's Education Center on the website. Good luck.

I'm curious as to why you guys allow the coaches to have such power in the system? Do they have training in officiating? Here, each officials association has their own rating system and determines how people move up. I would find it very uncomfortable to be doing coaches' games that are part of the rating process. Seems like a possible conflict of interest situation. Is he gonna want that crucial call down the stretch?
