Precisely here in a midwestern state also beginning with the same letter as yours.
My guess: good officials in your state have more "needs improvement" in the category entitled "consistency" than any other.
Reason: coaches' definition "consistent" differs from ours.
All things being equal, it's pathetic that any state association would consider myopic ratings such as these for any purpose whatsoever.
Sad to say, some do.
