Here is the kicker, I got a 2 in mechanics! I can take all the rest because the coach is an idiot and idiots do what I expect them to. BUT my mechanics should be a 5 even if he does not like the way I will not let him do what he wants. Now he is right, that is Bullsh_t!

Having coaches rate officials on mechanics.....priceless.

Of course you got a failing grade. Did you really expect anything different? In these types of systems, every "T" is an automatic failing grade. You don't really expect coaches to admit that they deserved what they got, do you?

Good job of taking care of bidness, Tom. That includes your partners too. You know that you did what you had to do. If more officials would, there might be fewer coaches around like this clown.
