Here is our system and it is simple. We as officials control 4 categories for the most part.

I think a good way to chose post season officials is to do it while all stakeholders are sitting at the same table. AD's and coaches can all sit in the same room and pick from the pool of available officials. Coaches or AD's can nominate who they feel are the best and any objections should be discussed. The minutes of that meeting should be made available to the officials. Objections should be noted in detail so the official can use the feedback to get better.
I think doing it in a open forum will eliminate some of the politics. Evaluations from coaches are not a bad thing but I would not allow them in the decision process to chose post season assignments. I would welcome feedback anyway I can get it. |

And your suggestion would still be political. It would make people realize who does not like them either way and likely be seen as held against one or the other. Then if we had a coach that was on the record not valuing our ability, then anything we did with them moving forward would be held against us even if we did not really care or pay attention. There is a reason politicians have closed-door meetings about policy. The public knowing how the sausage is made only would cause a problem in many cases for the person making the comments or the result to be accepted. Ratings are fine but do not tell me that a coach knows when I should rotate or who actually should have made a call or not. They often think we are all looking at the same play when we clearly are not. Peace

I didn't say it would eliminate politics. I feel it would eliminate some of the politics but not all of it. The open meeting would hopefully detour a coach or AD from being unfair. I never said it should be a mandatory thing or part of a selection process but I would appreciate certain feedback from coaches if done in a proper way. For example, did I show a high level of decisiveness? Did I communicate with participants effectively? Did I maintain professional control during the contest? Was I aggressive or overbearing? Evaluations regarding my application and understanding of the rules should maybe be left up to our peers. It was just a thought. But anyway. |

Politics
Don't worry about a vote, may be we should vote on if a coach should be in post season! The better officials may not be available or can't get off from their jobs. It is a nice honor if done the correct way. Some times it is just plain ole' politics!

They're done through Arbiter for all varsity games. We have six categories where we rate each of our partners on a scale of 1-10 (10 is the best). If you rate below an 8 in any category you have to provide a comment (though theoretically you could just put a dash in the comment box and the system would allow you to submit it). The average score and any comments written about an official are made public to officials shortly after the season ends. You cannot see how you were rated by partner, by game, or who wrote the comment–only the season average score and the comments themselves. The average score is multiplied by 2.5 and applied to your overall rating for the following season. |

That is pretty obvious. My comment didn't limit the feedback from our peers to that subject only but take it away from coaches.

I think one of the more insane things that goes on is the top 15 vote for officials of your association when your only contact with those other officials is if you are their crew, or at clinics and meetings. Varsity games here are pretty much assigned to a crew instead of random assignments and you dont work with anyone else except maybe one or two other guys outside the crew and whoever you get paired with in tournaments.
