You can only answer the original question by first asking "what is the purpose of this evaluation?"

 

If its to help the umpires improve then of course they cant do that.  They don't know enough about it.

 

If its to help with post season assignments then of course it can help. (its really more of a ranking system than an evaluation system).

I would let a coach evaluate me if I can evaluate his game management.

Coaches can't evaluate positioning, mechanics etc. They have no clue what's going on. That's better suited to peer evaluation. But they can sometimes be an excellent source for game management, rule

Thanks, everyone, for your input.  It was very helpful.

 

I just mailed my ballot.  I'd rather not say here which candidate I chose, but if you are dying to know, PM me.

 

Meanwhile, the general thread on coach evaluations can and should of course continue, if others want to weigh in.

Does your state ask coaches to rank guys when it comes to playoffs assignments.  For years in New Mexico in addition to associations nominating who they wanted to send to State Finals, the coaches had votes as well.  If your state allows coach input for assigning finals may be worth it to have them "evaluate" you during the year as well.
