I would love to know how a system works where the coaches have input as to who the best officials are.
Do the officials in WV get to vote on who the best coaches are?

Well in Michigan it works just fine ...if you're a coach.

Suffolk County Long Island uses a rating system where the coaches rate the officials. In my personal opinion it is a detriment to objective evaluation of officials because 1) coaches focus on specific situations or preconceived notions to rate not objective criteria 2) there is no standard, what I mean is coach A may evaluate a crew as having an excellent game and rate 5 on a 1 to 5 scale. Coach B may decide no official is perfect, even though, they had an excellent game and give a 4.
Coaches should be part of a rating system but that portion should not exceed more than 30 percent. The remainder should be done by peer review and objective raters. I am sure in every group of officials the individuals who need work are known by all.
