I think that if you have a major sport, with nationally televised games, calls at times need to be explained, and silence is not the best option. I guess that is why most observers feel that the scrutiny is not there, because the league will not own up to anything with respect to its officials. Players and coaches in that league are publicly accountable, refs should be as well. It goes with being on the big stage. and I think the lack of openess hurts the league in terms of credibility.

I'm not following you here coach.
Occasionally the NBA issues statements that a particular play was handled properly, or a particular play was not handled properly and some action is to be taken. This is pretty much SOP for all leagues, pro or not.
What else could the league do for the sake of "openess"?
