State talking points
At my association's first meeting every season, the director gives us a detailed rundown of offseason chatter within the SCBOA and SCHSL.
-Reducing our certification exam (which we all have to drive to Columbia to take) from 100 to 50 questions. -President of the Coaches' Association thinks that coaches' ratings should factor into the officials' rating formula, which it currently doesn't. -Suspending officials for unprofessional conduct. Apparently we had an unusually high number of fan-official incidents last season. -On the flip side, schools that do not deal with problematic fans may be subject to a $5000 fine. -Suspending officials for not filling out ejection reports. I'm pretty sure we already have a clause like this in our bylaws. But, supposedly it will be enforced this year. -The SCHSL is imploring officials to penalize unsporting behavior without regard to what the repercussions for the ejecting official and coach will be. Targeting the officials who won't take care of business because they don't want the coach to get fined or suspended. Now, some of these topics are important issues and I'm glad they're being discussed. However, it's rather comical how much time we spend in SC talking about everything other than how to improve the statewide quality of officiating on the floor. Welcome to another season. |

Well, is it possible that these are issues that need to be addressed? I get wanting things to be addressed on the court, but would that not come from a different focus? For example, don't you have some kind of camps, clinics, trainings that can be used for on-court improvement?
You think a memo is going to go over well if they say, "The Lead in a rebound needs to move away from the lane to get a wider angle of rebound" if that is said in such a memo? Peace

AMEN!!!
My sons deal with coaches at the professional level and it is incredible that these professional morons ask the same dumb questions and make the same idiotic comments as they do at HS and college level. They do, however, dress nicer

Remember, SCHSL assigns all varsity games in the state and rates all 700 or so officials on a scale to 100.
I would keep the 100 question test. I think the answers should be set in concrete before administering the test though. If SC is going to use the coaches input (ratings?), SC should throw out the lowest ratings or figure out someway to weight them to be fair. Also all games, should be filmed and put on-line so an official could challenge his rating to a committee if he/she feels their rating was unfair. Coaches get to black list officials, officials get to black list official and official get to black list schools. |

Adding a coaches' factor into our rating system would require a vote of the association, and I don't see it passing. With the state wanting us to penalize inappropriate behavior, it would make zero sense to implement a coaches' rating component, which IMO would cause LESS technical fouls to be called. The president of the Coaches Association also said the peer ratings component of our rating system makes no sense. And on that point I could not agree more. |

I understand your frustration, but not sure how that all lies onto the state if the officials do not put in the work and look in the mirror. Peace

The system in SC is a mess. I've experienced it as a young official myself. In no way did SC Official imply that he is not responsible for his own improvement as an official, and I'm not sure where you got that from. |

and, of course, the state could make it such that a coach who gets a T is unable to rate the officials in that game. (I suppose if the coach has the same officials later in the year, the coach could carry a grudge forward.) |
