I agree with this completely. The NBA guys, as a group, are the best anywhere. Probably, although I wouldn't stake my life on it, a couple of the best college guys are better than a couple of the worst NBA guys. But that doesn't take away from the quality of the NBA officials as a group.

Now if Laettner never touched him and the official choose Laettner to give the foul to then I do believe this would be wrong
Eli, I think this happens every single night. I see it --well, not all the time -- but quite often. And again, this is not a criticism of the officials; it's merely a reflection of how the league does bidness.
