That's fine. Like I said, I'm not likely to be in an NBA brawl anytime soon.
But just because someone is paying your medical bills doesn't mean you want to have medical bills, you know what I'm sayin'? 
Just as an aside, looking at the average NBA player and the average NBA official, I see quite the size and age mismatch there that can't be good for the guys in grey. I can't see how the NBA could say to its officials "We want you in there with those 22-year-old 6-8, 250 pound guys breaking it up, even though you're 5-8 and 50 years old and sell insurance in the off-season."

I understand what you are saying. But the NBA Officials are full time employees. They do that year round for the most part. They have camps they have to go to and might run camp of their own all over the country. I am sure some might have other businesses or jobs, but not likely. They can make a 6 figure income rather easily after some time in the league. And have you seen many of the NBA officials lately? They are more muscular than many of the players. I remember looking at the fight between the Washington Wizards and the Chicago Bulls. The officials that were getting in between that brawl were just as ripped if not more than the players.
Peace
