I don't like the idea. But, I'm not in a role to be overly concerned with what coaches think of a particular league. I do my part in the game and try to look as good as possible.

As an eval of an individual umpire, I don't think they should have much weight. Too many variables of why they don't like an umpire. But, if there is a trend for an umpire, it can mean a warranted official eval of the umpire by an evaluator. But, that is all of the weight it should carry.

As an eval of overall satisfaction of umpires, yes. But, only to the extent for an assigner to know if his customers are happy. The occasional bad one won't mean much. But, many might indicate an issue or overall dissatisfaction and needs to be followed up.
