This would be a great idea if used properly. I think it would finally give coaches a voice and hold officials to a certain stantdard. This would also allow officials to be rated, and the deserving officials can be rewarded by getting the play-off and state championship matches. They also could create an Official of the Year award. I think that the idea of not just an evaluation, but also some sort of rating criteria would be healthy for everyone involved. The big question is can we get them to do it? All other sports use a rating system to determine the top officials in their particular sport. I would love to hear other opinions. Great post!
