Can or do coaches submit an evaluation of the ref after each game. Would it help if along with the score card, each coach gives a rating of the ref performance on a scale of 1-5. I would think most coaches would be fairly objective. I would think it would be rare for a winning team coach to rate a ref a 5 and the losing team a 1. If at the end of the season, a ref has a poor average rating, then they need to go back through a full training to get re-certified. Also, the assignor can maybe help pair a poor ref with a good ref to hopefully help them to improve during the season. There is an added incentive for the ref to do a competent job, not favoring one team over the other since both coaches will be rating his/her performance as well as it provides continuous feedback to the ref.
