the problem with assessments is that the assessments are being done by the same people assigning these refs. Jaguar, I like the idea of coaches having a say. I have heard of states that let the coaches give 5 recommendations for the tournament. then the assignors work off of that list for centers. the reason refs don't want that is because you would break the system of "seniority". To be honest, I think coaches will be a lot more open minded then the assignors are. Plus, it would prevent "coasting" by officials through the regular season because they already know they are going to get playoff/champoinship games. If they know the coaches are going to have a say, they may be a bit more polite and work a little harder.
