I thought I'd add another note.

I'm in Washington state, and the state grants state playoff assignments to associations. Each association, according to their own rules, assigns officials to those assignments. Some associations may use coach input, some derive their own standards, such as I've already posted.

I personally find it interesting that coaches are given input. Certainly some coaches may be able to fairly assess officiating ability, but I think it is far better to have officials doing the evaluating. Too often coaches are ignorant of the responsibilities of officials and the rules.
