Coaches spend anywhere from 10 to 20 (or more) hours with the same kids each week; often times in private settings.
Officials spend only the amount of game time we have with kids each week (maybe, at most, 10 hours). They're different kids each night, and never in a private setting of any type. Nothing we do on the court can't be taped by a parent.
My understanding of criminal checks is they are a way of trying to prevent any inappropriate activity between the players and their adult coaches.
