At least in volleyball, coaches evaluate the refs after every match Archived Message

The referees also file a match report, and if there are specific concerning items that occurred during the match, the referee is expected to include it in the match report. The assignor wants to hear from the referee first, and they get really ticked off if they have to hear about something from a coach before being given a heads up by the ref. If there are specific issues during a match, coaches often call the conference assignor to vent. If it's concerning enough, the assignor will get in touch with the referee to see what happened. These days pretty much every competition is recorded to some degree, whether it be live broadcast, streaming, or whatever, so the assignor can also see the specific complaints. When things are blatantly erred on or disregarded, it can result in future assignments being pulled, postseason ineligibility for that official, etc. I'm aware of at least once case where a decision was made, it was protested at the time, and the protest ruling was that there was an error, and the match was resumed at the point of the error later on. The Big XII assignor put out a release indicating the results of the protest, and the release indicated the officials involved would have assignments taken away. You just don't about that often because, unless it's a high profile case, it's usually handled in house. But I'm sure if this ref erred and the decision overturned, there's a higher chance that you'd hear of repercussions to the official. One thing to keep in mind: if this is a conference championship tournament, theoretically, this is someone who has demonstrated some degree of quality to be chosen for postseason (though I can't say 100% for sure that's the case for swimming). It's not like it's just some random guy pulling rules out of his hat to enforce. Previous Message Is there a punishment for refs calling things incorrectly? Previous Message But without knowing what they teach in their rules meetings, case book interpretations, etc, we have no idea if this was an overstep, or something that has been told to the referees that they have to crack down on. Just like when basketball refs get points of emphasis every year and we see things whistled that we aren't used to being whistled. Previous Message When I did my certification, they taught us the most important rule of refereeing was common sense. Previous Message Amend the rule if necessary for the future if you don't like the rule, but people ragging on the refs are ignoring that he put them in that position by doing something there seems to be a clear rule against.
