That's funny you mentioned that, because I actually called in on the show today and got through at around 12:20. It was the first time I had ever gotten through....he was making the point that better teams usually get the calls, but that home teams' fans often influence officials. I argued that officiating is a competitive industry in moving up and getting games and that you are dealing with a high % of officials. I also pointed out that teams play better at home, hence making them more likely to get calls.
He cut me off and started saying that not every player plays better on the road, and that J.J. Redick and others actually claim to like the road better.
