On our soccer board, both coaches and officials rate us. For basketball, coaches don't presently get a say in ratings, though a pilot program is under development.
There was a story a few years ago in Referee magazine that showed that, overall, coaches rate officials more fairly than other officials do. Granted, coaches may be looking for different things, but ultimately, they're not competing for the same jobs as you, and that plays a factor.
I believe it's erroenous to completely dismiss a coach's viewpoint. You can certainly consider their motivation during an evaluation, but you may be surprised what you learn.
