Throwing Flags on Coaches

Can you tell me if the coaches'ratings of officials are broken down into sub-categories? I'd like to see the specific areas that I need to work on.

In our state we do not allow coaches to make any comments outside of the rating. Coaches are not qualified to tell officials what they need to work on. They can say if one crew is better than another. This is one of the better ways to give the assignor of the playoffs some independent evidence of what officials are doing and what coaches feel about them. But this is not an "evaluation" system to help officials get better. Lower level officials cannot even get rated. Evaluations have to come from your association or veteran officials. BTW, officials in our state can rate each other the same way coaches do.
