C'mon now. That's a rush to judgement that comes across as rather harsh and arrogant.

If basketball were so simple to teach, then it follows that the game would be equally simple to officiate. Yet this board alone has almost 130,000 posts in almost 10,000 threads. Even after factoring out inflation arising from the off-topic fight between Red Sox and Yankee fans, there seems to be a hell of a lot of discussion among officials regarding their interpretation of those 10 "simple" rules of the game.
