"I would give my left arm to have a guy who knows what he's doing come out and evaluate me. I would be glad to pay someone who knew how to umpire to evaluate me, since that will help me get better. All these ratings and catagories do is give you a bad reputation when it comes time for tournament assignments."
I can help here, I know how to evaluate, and would be honored to have the opportunity to come evaluate you and any others that would would fly me out and pay me to do such. Though since I would be away from home, my fees would be much more than my current association's "mileage only" for eval assignments, say 1/2 pay of the level I'd be evaluating.
Let me know, I would of course need a least a weeks notice to make arrangements with my real job. And our season is wrapping up, with one more big weekend on 6/16 and 17, I am avalable after that.
As a former board member of our association, we reviewed many coaches evals and if they aren't subjective and detailed, you know the ones, "this guy sucked" or "learn the rules" or needs a "stike zone" we would contact the umpire get his/her thoughts on the game and usually wind up deleting the eval, or just gleaning off the useful areas.
As someone else posted, we see a remarkable number of losing coaches submitting evals, with 99% being poor evals, while the victors submit very rarely.
