I imagine every association has officials concerned about their advancement.

What are some of your associations doing to evaluate basketball official performance? What kind of a system do you use?

Here in podunk Idaho Falls. We allow the coaches to do it all. The commisioner/assigner says he has a 50 percent input but I have never seen it. Additionally, the commisioner allows us to perform an end-of-season of evaluation of each other. Not sure that either the commisioner or the peer input has any value - we never see the results. The commisioner was bragging last year, about 3-4 weeks before the end of the season, that he hadn't "watched a single game yet this season." So what kind of input can I expect from him?

I make the assumption that only the coaches are really giving input and then mostly in favor of their drinking buddies, college roomates, boyfriends/girlfriends, etc.

We do not have any kind of an established evaluation program. I would like to implement something this season so my association can understand good and bad performance.

Does anyone have suggestions, evaluation sheets, preferred methodology?
