I have also considered giving the coaches the evaluation rubric that we use to evaluate our umpires so at least when they see the evaluation form they might think..."holy cow, I have no idea on most of this stuff."
As an example of some coaches not having a clue...in the last two weeks, I've received emails telling me that they felt the umpire "screwed up" R1, zero out. Batter hits a line drive to F4 who catches the ball, then attempts to double R1 off of 1B. The thrown ball from F4 rolls into the dugout. The umpire awarded R1 third base. Coach: "I feel that this was the wrong rule. Is this umpire judgment or something?" Here's another one: R2, 1 out. F1 legally engages the rubber, steps to 2b, but throws the ball to F4 who is nowhere near 2B. Coach: "Your umpire didn't call a balk. I thought he had to throw to the base." These are the people who would be giving evaluations on my umpires...sorry, it's tough for me to seriously consider their feedback on how well my guys umpire when they haven't demonstrated basic understanding of some very simple rules.

In a perfect world I would not want their input. But the reality is they see many umpires over a season and there are not individual evaluators at games so they have to have some say. Coaches should only rate officials, never evaluate. There is a big difference.

I agree with how you have said this, but can you have one without the other?
