I don't like it but its better than nothing I guess
Quote:
The coaches are supposed to be "required" to submit it by the state, but in basketball about half of my games were rated and in baseball only about 10%. If they are going to let the coaches rate us, then we should have to rate the coaches also. Did they control their team, sportsmanship, facilities, security, administration present, etc., The sad thing is that most of the losing coaches will turn in the ratings. I laugh because one of the areas is "rules knowledge" and I always get rated less on that area which I would consider my highest. Last season, we had a "no call" on a fly ball down the first base line. The runner ran to first, and the F1 and F2 came out to get the catch. It was in foul territory and ended up being a drop. The coach of course said the runner interfered. There was no interference. Later on my rating coach writes, "umpire definitely doesnt' understand interference" So basically its all subjective and coaches can say whatever they want no matter how wrong they are. The state uses the ratings for basketball playoff assignments, but baseball does not. Thansk David |

In this state, coaches rate umpires on the following criteria:
10% Appearance/Physical 10% Pre-Game 20% Attitude/Temperament 20% Rules Knowledge 20% Mechanics 20% Game/Field Presence What is Pre-Game, you ask? According to the Arbiter, it includes being "On time for pre-game conference. On time (Enters playing area at appropriate time). Performs all assigned duties: inspections." And miraculously, I have been marked down in this area. How is that even possible? We are also expected to rate our partners after each game, a practice I find equally distasteful and which I refuse to do. It seems ridiculous for a rookie to be rating someone who has been doing it for 20 years. (Of course, there are those Smitties who have one year experience twenty times, but ratings would be wasted on them anyway.) Shouldn't these conversations happen in the post-game? It would be interesting to come up with a system for rating coaches: 20% Attitude 20% Sportsmanship 20% Pulled the pitcher before giving up a grand slam 20% Chose a shortstop who could field a ball cleanly 20% Selected a line-up of players who swing at corner pitches Have I missed anything? |
