I don't think this is true. My organization provides umpires for the District Tournaments. These umpires are chosen by the association, not by the coaches. With the weather issues surrounding the District tournaments this year, the organization was looking for ANY available umpires to help complete the games needed. Without the weather, I wouldn't have done any games this year.

Again, incorrect. Coaches do evaluations online for each umpire in each Varsity-level game.
