I can't believe that a JH coach would have anything to say about an official's evaluation. Down here in the south the only coach that got to evaluate (an internal one by the Association and longer done) was a varsity coach. Anybody less than that didn't get the time of day with regard to officials evaluations.
Believe it!

I submitted a proposal to the board a few years ago that evaluation for promotion should belong to varsity officials who may one day have to work with that official. That went nowhere.

The result of JH and JV coaches evaluations being used for promotion is, at best, a joke. JH coaches typically have as many as 40 to 50 players to control and you can only imagine how much time to look at officials. And JV is not a lot better. And, for the most part they don't even tape the games for review.

So when the official makes it to varsity and the varsity coach complains about performance, who promoted them? Your lower level coaches.
