The NBA is not the NFL, or the MLB. MLB doesn't review anything with replay. Why should they? What issues would you like to see reviewable?

2. Why does NBA not make the rule interpretations widely available to the public, like NCAA does?
|
The NBA rules are online on their website. They have a TV network that often has the supervisor of officials on to explain calls, rules, interpretations and philosophies. They routinely discuss specific situations through press releases. The publicly reprimanded an official last year for a judgment that he made. I think they're very public about the things that need to be before the public.

3. What responsibilities (integrity, sportsmanship wise) they genunely believe they have to the public?
|
Do they have a responsibility to inform the public regarding internal processes, discussions, and philosophies? No, they do not. Further, there's no reason to comment of the "percieved" injustices of biased individuals, connly known as fan(atic)s.
BTW, I hate it when someone tells me how to answer a question. I reserve the right to answer with "cynical answers" if I so choose to. When you ask a question, you get what you get. You don't get to determine how the respondent answers the question.
