How many groups/associations that you work for allow schools/coaches to delete (not allow them to work their games) officials?

Associations/Groups have no say.
That is between the assignor and the schools. No association has say over that. Each conference or assignor has their own rules or practices to handle that. Or the same applies to the schools that do their assigning. It is based on what they want to do or not to do.

Scrateches common in this area.

As officials, we are also allowed to scratch schools when we submit our closed dates prior to the season. However it is not encouraged. Usually the assingors already know if a potential concern exists. |
Our association allows a coach to markoff up to three officials in a sport.

My rec league worked differently. If there was a problem between a coach and a referee, I would suspend the coach. Therefore - no more problem. Easy.

Texas Scratch Game
Texas' school governing body (UIL) and the state officials' association (TASO) allows high school coaches to "scratch" as many officials as they want, as often as they want, for any reason they want, and at any time during the season they want. It is absolutely the most frustrating, idiotic, and infuriating system I have ever had the misfortune to work under. In addition, the coaches are allowed to submit a "Preferred Officials" list. Some larger school districts scratch all but 15 or 20 officials out of a 300 or 400 member chapter. An no official is allowed to see the list of schools that might have scratched you. My college supervisor does not allow "scratching" in the conferences he covers...thank goodness.

I'm not aware of any provision for a school/coach to scratch officials in Utah. We, however, may scratch individual schools.

IMHO, our association does a pretty good job of determining which officials are capable to do any games and our assigner does a good job of sending our top officials to the top games. We don't need coach input for that and we don't want our officials <b> ever </b> feel like a certain call might lead a coach to scratching them. That's just not right. In my three years on the board, we had just one coach try to scratch a certain official. After talking to him and the official he didn't want, we found out the details of what happened. There was a little bit of fault by the coach and the official. They got together and worked it out in no time. Rather than having a pissed off coach who thinks some of our officials suck and feeling like he could scratch one, he realized that none of us are perfect and that this official was actually pretty good (and human) after all. Now they joke about it and have one of the best coach/official relationships I've seen. Z |
NONE!!!
Coaches have no say in what officials they recieve, with the exception of exhibition games where coaches can make requests to the assignors of who they want. I've ejected, or T'd up a coach and had their game the next week. Its amazing how much their behaviour can change. |
For all regular season games, the coaches have the final say on who officiates and who does not officiate. The coaches also vote on who should be allowed to officiate in the tournament and who does not officiate.
