Coaches are very subjective. Two stories about losing coaches:
First, one coach put a big 'X' over the entire eval.
Another losing coach gave the crew the lowest mark in every category, even apperance. I saw the game. You can disagree on calls, but the crew looked great appearance wise.
In short, I'm not against coaches rating crews, but the said ratings should not be used at the end of the year for playoff assignments, etc. (too many coaches are grinding axes).
In a perfect world other officials (retired officials and whatnot--I do not know all of the logistics) would evaluate each crew, and not for the "correctness" of calls (many times it would be to tough to determine this without the assistance of replay), but rather for apperance, positioning, etc.
