    Your misapplication of "their rule" and prejudgment of those officials was nothing but a typical fan reaction to a lack of knowledge.

  • Dear mick:

    My English is poor, but my logic sense is not. Would you tell me the logical relation between "high paid" and "top of their trade"? I believe someone here mentioned that the pay was so low that referee could not be a full time job unless they were at NBA level. So based on your "logic", are those high school referees or college referee dumb because they are paid so little? (No offense to anybody who read this post please) I am wondering whether you are those high-paid ones or those "adfads" ones.

    If you believe you are so knowledgeable, would you tell me when the definations of "team control" became different between NBA and other regulation bodies?

    G'nite.

    ysong,
    The relationship between high pay and top of their trade is is direct. I believe the NBA implores supply-side economics, which advocates policies that raise capital and labor output by increasing the incentive to produce. Thus, doing a good officiating job for the NBA, provides a good product where the players, fans and coaches are willing to pay and participate, (ie, to buy) and the good officiating job is rewarded by higher pay.

    The fact that officials work for or, in spite of, their pay has no direct relationship to intelligence.
    I am not highly paid.
    I do not know if I am an adfad.
    I do not claim to be knowledgeable.
    I do not judge volleyball, swimming, wrestling or NBA basketball.
    I know that your "we" does not include me. Instead of using the term "We", perhaps your English skills may one day include idioms such as:
  • I think...
  • In my opinion...
  • It seems to me...
