For those of you that use ratings from coaches, does it impact how officials deal with coaches during the regular season at all?

Nope.

For the record our rating system is not dependant all only coaches ratings. We have a ratings percentage and at Top 15 Percentage. And officials ratings go into the same equation and can affect your percentages from coaches. We have a 40 point system and ratings from coache/officials are only 5 points and 5 points for the Top 15 rankings of that 40 points. You need other numbers and considerations to be high on that 40. Currently I have as high as a number I can without working a State Final, so there is so much you control and other things you control little. So something I must be doing is working.

Honestly it does not change a single thing I do. I work hard, hustle and do my job. Coaches are going to come and go, but officials will often stay the same. And since the same system applies in all sports, I worked three State Finals by not caring one bit about ratings. And yes I have coaches that do not like me or give me problems and I still got to those levels. I am also doing fine in basketball.
