Just a lil something I picked up watching the playoffs last night... can't remember which game. And it is small.. but, kinda shows you how creative the best officials can be (NBA).

One of the players was arguing something. Apparently Bavetta had mentioned this exact thing in the pregame captains meeting. So he tells the player.. "We warned you guys about that in the pregame captains meeting (or somethign like that).. do you REMEMBER that ?"

Just thought it was creative to use something as simple as the captains meeting to relieve a situation. The player simply shook his head and walked away. There are so many small things that the best officials do.. that go unnoticed. That keep a good flow to the game and avoid confrontation. NBA officials you could argue... do it better than anyone out there.
