Re: See you later NBA
I think by far the NBA must be the hardest league to officiate. Very athletic, very quick players and refs need to make split-second decisions based off of what they see. For that I cut them a little bit of slack.
If you want a statistic that can aid your ref-hating agenda, look at the percentage of home wins relative to a specific referee. I remember Bernie effing Fryer in '92 once made a homer call in a Blazers-Suns playoff game that cost the Suns a win. It was so bad that TNT showed it during the other games. Turns out that at the time Fryer called the highest percentage of wins for the home team of any ref in the league. Sure, there's going to be some variance, but this still needs to be taken into account.

I would imagine that basketball is really hard to officiate, and I don't understand why they don't run 4 man crews. [/ QUOTE ] I think you'd have a really hard game to play if 2 refs are calling it tight and 2 are letting it go a little. A lot of players were unhappy when they went from 2 to 3 because it gave refs an excuse to say that call wasn't in my zone. Were does it stop? To paraphrase Bill Walton on the topic: "5 referees? 7 referees? Sensors on every body."
