The excitement, the tension, the electricity in the air...that's what basketball is all about! The closer the game the better! What official likes to referee a boring blow out? Check your pulses my referee brothers.
The jelly legs, the mental fatigue, the players who are fouling because their tired, and the irritable coaches. I didn't read where any officials said they "hated" overtime but they can be exhausting.

What's a blowout got to do with overtime? The only comparison I can think of is that I don't care for either. We work doubleheaders, so give me two good games that go down to the wire, and end in regulation.
