Not really. The AAU tourney officials are assigned by a for profit organization. While coaches have little power, there is a low tolerance for treating coaches, players, and especially the paying fans with disrespect. But we are also getting paid significantly less for those games as well. Apples and oranges really.

Coaches around here are usually hired as a condition of their overall contact as a teacher. Usually schools do not have a non-teacher coaching any sport. So those coaches are accountable to the school district in many ways. Not that it always works, but if a coach does something that embarrasses the school it can and has affected their real job.

Missouri is really a mixed bag when it comes to coaches' influence. In this area, I don't think that football coaches have much, if any, say over who works their games. I know the state office assigns all district and playoff games, and the local assignor decides who works regular season games. The coaches still rate officials for regular season games.

Locally in basketball, there is a single assignor that assigns all games but coaches do have "preferred" lists of officials they want, although a lot of them complain that they never get those guys. They can also scratch people. The schools draft officials for the district tournaments, but the state assigns playoff games.

In baseball, it's like the Wild West. Coaches can hire their own officials in regular season games. Coaches/schools hire their own district tournament officials, and hire their own state playoff officials up until the state championships, where the state assigns them.

Well, Missouri (STL) is considered the "Gateway to the wild wild West".

The schools hire the officials for every sport in the regular season here. The Athletic Directors or coaches call and schedule us.
