Definitely a different system for getting crew members. I don't like the sentaments of the referees who told you that they don't throw flags on coaches but I do understand it. When you tell me that they are rated in the top 6 out of 26 it makes sense. When you ratings are done by coaches only, like they are here in Indiana, you at some point have to question what to do. We are told repeatedly in meetings that we are to control the sidelines and the coaches. However, the coaches rating is how our playoff assignments are based and the Athletic Directors get officials for all thier games. The question becomes do you flag a coach because it is the right thing to do per the rules or do you hold off and not risk getting a playoff game or another game at that school. I know that my crew talks about doing what is best for the game and not worrying about the grades. But we still want to work as far into the playoffs as possible. Quite a fine line we have to walk.
