IMO rating officials by coaches is a pacifier for the coaches by the assignor and/or the league. The coaches in general would love to scratch officials. Most levels will not allow this. But coaches do need to vent. Coaching is their job and they do need a venting outlet to your boss the supervisor. IMO the more we understand the challenges of the coach the better our game management skills can be.
