Rating officials

[Bob Lyle]

Our white hats get together at the end of the season and rate the officials for the following year. The coaches have little say in it.

The coaches used to rate the officials but it was a disaster. They still submit rating sheets but our assignor tosses them in the trash can. The white hats might get to read what the coaches write but the white hats have the final say. The officials never get to see what is written about them.

Each coach can scratch one white hat from his season but he cannot scratch any other official. If the assignor is ticked at a coach, he has been known to move the scratched white hat to another position for a single game at the scratched school.
