I agree that they are good at positioning and such, but their way of looking at advantage/disadvantage is much different than what we see at the high school level. Our player are not as skilled, strong or fast. Also, the NBA, to me, is more about entertainment and putting rear ends in the seats than it is about competition. It is officiated that way. A foul that is called on the 3rd or 4th guy coming off the bench will not be called on an all-star started because people are there to see the star. An extra step or two will be ignored if it leads to a highlight dunk. Sportsmanship is completely different than what we expect at the high school level. This is what I meant by the NBA not translating well to what most of us do. As I said, I'm sure the officials are good, but they way the league wants the game called has little to do with the games I do.
