Got my rankings for this season

[bigdog5142]

Hey! I got my rankings after my first season back after an 8 year time off.

I did two varsity games and got three rankings...1 to 5 scale (1 being tournament quality) and was rated an average of 1.25. SWEET! (These were my first two varsity games and have been informed that I'll get a much better schedule next season.

I did a TON of JV games and some Frosh games. Michigan also rates sub-varsity. This was weird...

For boys, I received six rankings...a 1, four 2's and one THREE (with a improvement code of call consistency)!

For girls, I received four rankings...three 1's and a 2.

Having coaches rank you can be frustrating. I probably know who the coach was that gave me a three...a specific coach that I T'd.

Anyway...after my first season back and getting back in the groove (as well as breaking into varsity), I'm pretty excited and happy. It's just weird to get better rankings at the Varsity level then the JV. I did more JV games, though...maybe that's the rub.

Enjoy your improved schedule this coming season, but don't worry about what the coaches think of you. In the big picture their opinion is not what's important.

Accept in his world they get to rank him, which has an impact on his schedule, which you just congratulated him on improving due to his coaches ratings.

Are you saying that the coach who he T'd who then ranked him poorly had a great impact upon his upcoming schedule? I don't.

His ability as an official is what got him an improved schedule, not the thoughts of the coaches.

Of course, it is a shame that his state allows coaches to rate officials and even worse if they put any kind of weight on that.

I have no idea either way. Maybe you know the details.

If the thoughts of the coaches have no impact then why is it a shame to let them rate?

I live in a state where coaches get to rank officials. I got marked down on some of the rankings and it didn't keep me from going to state. Hopefully, the assigner is someone who realizes what happens when a frustrated coach has the power to rank an official. It is total BS.

To the OP, your lower rankings for the JV games was probably a result of immature coaches who don't really know what they are doing. At least they don't know what they are doing as much as the varsity coaches should.

My opinion is that a belief by the coaches that they have any kind of right to evaluate the performance of the game officials is a shame. It forms the very root of the problem.

We get our rankings and laugh every season. As if the coaches think they are influencing me or (it appears) the state with their uninformed opinions....
