It really would depend on the system you are under. I work in a system where coaches can rate us and it really is not that big of a deal. Also if a coach thinks you messed up, it does not matter whether you think you were perfect, this is not going to change the coach's opinion. I would not spend any more time trying to convince a coach that can rate me as compared to an official that will not rate me. Just treat the coach the same way you would if he was not rating you. Even if the coach is not rating you, it is not like they could not complain or tell people you kicked a rule. In a system where there are no ratings, the coach’s word might hold more water. So do not get too caught up in the rating system. Worry about those things you can actually control.
