Camron, do you really think that is why this other official told us this? When he said it, I didn't take it that way because in reality, we ref the matchup. Can we get past this notion of someone supposedly making a new phrase and look at this for what it is? What do we do on the court, ref the D or ref the matchup? Since we ref the matchup, why can't we say we ref the matchup? The only thing I thought about when I heard this was it makes sense. I still don't understand the reluctance.
Perhaps not the person you heard it from but someone, somewhere, was trying to improve the wheel. While the content is certainly correct, it doesn't add any new thinking to the body of officiating...it's just rephrasing the same ideas.
