Well Mark, who the best officials and the worst officials are is very subjective point of view. Also the "best" cannot work every night and every game. Someone that is not the "best" is going to work some time.

Not everyone is up to their standards.
Thats a shame, because with the resourcesavailable to the NBA, we could get the rest of the staff far, far closer.

No you could not. Not everyone wants to be an NBA official. The top NCAA officials make more money than a rookie NBA official. They also have better job security and they are not considered expendable.

Yes I have Mark. I have also talked to some officials in the NBA. It is not all peaches and cream and it is also a game that many "amateur" officials like or even respect. Other than a few playoff games I cannot watch the NBA anymore.

This statement does not even make any sense. Either way it goes not everyone wants to be in the NBA.
