Good article.

The part that surprised me though, was the fact the standard schedule for an NBA ref is 10-11 games per month. I know many officials that do 10-11 games per WEEK. Ok, granted, the JV/varsity doubleheaders aren't the same as doing two NBA games. But even a lot of the "big-time" D-1 officials are doing 75-90 games a season.

I know they also watch tapes of their games, do their own analysis, travel farther, etc., so it's not quite the same comparison. And I'm not saying it in a negative way, just that I found it interesting. Was anyone else aware of that kind of schedule?
