Not good. Wish we could rate coaches and have their job depend on it...
Coaches rating umpires is the stupidest idea. It is done in CT as well. Why not have a couple more evaluators that go around who actually know umpiring come rate you? Take a test before every season that gives you a "rules" grade?
Having coaches rate umpires creates a systematic breakdown of incentives for the umpire.
I recall when I was in high school, I was the head basketball manager. Our HC was a big whiner, and he made it my duty to fill out the evaluations every week because "they don't listen to me anymore". I told him back "they never should have."
Same thing applies to baseball.
