Throw a DPI a coach doesn't like? 5. Sideline warning? 5. Displease him in any way - you're sunk. "You're all getting 5's!" is a coach's threat heard every so often during games. One coach left a game card up in his office from the prior week with a 5 next to each official's name. Class guy, he is. Implicit threat to the guys working his game that night.
Nobody can/will address it. We're stuck with it.

In Iowa we are rated in the same way, but if a coach ever even mentions that he "will/may" give you a 5, it is an automatic ejection. They know it, and we know it. A 5 means that you are "not qualified to work a varsity contest" and that you do not want to have that crew assigned in the tournament series. I believe you also have to state "why" you are giving them the 5. Fives do not come about very often.
