paid evaluators
Our association has had a hard time getting good consistent evaluations. At meeting tonight it was suggested that we hire several paid evaluators to remedy the problem.
Does anyone have any experience with a good procedure for evaluating with paid evaluators? |

Our assn is using two guys who are not calling games and paying them a game fee for each set of games [JV & varsity]. They will rate each official twice. Where I used to live had officials rate each other in games. Some guys harpooned others hoping to be better positioned for playoffs. Politics will always enter into ratings in some fashion. But having guys that are not competing for 'playoff assignments' seems to have 'good idea' written all over it.

However, there are a few officials out there who take a different approach, and consider a 7 a 'good' score. In a system that doesn't allow much differentiation because of a lack of education from the association, this can make one official's harsh grading of others pretty impactful. There are also, of course, those who will grade harshly to benefit their own ranking. All that said, I still favor an official's rating system over a coach's rating system, which is how it was in the state I came from. Best of all worlds, IMO, would be the paid evaluator system. |

I hung up my whistle 3 years ago. This year I was asked by our local association to come back and evaluate officials for which I would be compensated. I go out 2-3 nights a week to do both a JV and V game, so I get 6 evaluations in.
I have no horse in the race so I pretty much tell the officials what I see. I always find some positive in someone's game and let them know. I try to offer suggestions on positioning, rotations/switches, coverage area, reporting techniques, etc. If I have a question on judgment I usually ask the official what happend on that play. If a certain rule has blatantly been misapplied I will let the official know and suggest he/she review it. Most of the officials are trying to move up the ladder and I want to be able to offer help on how to do that. The information I share with the official also goes to our Assigner & Board of Directors. |
