the problem that comes up with assessment though is how biased some coaches will assess, that is if you're implying that coaches do the assessment. If a team win a game because their player fell in the box, happened to be next to a defender but didn't touch him, and the ref calls the PK with only 3 minutes left, how do you think that coach's assessment will be??? and what about the losing coach??? Now if coaches can put the feelings and emotions of the game aside and do a real assessment of the referee regardless of personal anger at the moment, then it might work, but the trust issue comes up. And how will the league be able to grade Ref Doe, when coach John gave him an A+ since he won, and the losing coach gave him and F because that questionable call cost him the game???? Now refs do need to be graded or something so that they can do a better job, but how can we do that without worrying about bias, favoritism and such???
