You know, you two guys miss the reason I even replied in this thread to begin with.
Dave30 chose to crap on NBA and NCAA officials with his comment in the first post of this thread. Had he not done that, I never would have replied. It was a ridiculous comment on his part and I shot back. I'll probably shoot back the next time too.
You're entitled to your opinions but so am I. It will always be FEEBLE basketball to me. The basketball in Europe in no way compares to the level of the NBA. The champion of any given European league would finish last in any division of the NBA. College players who can't make the NBA get million dollar contracts in Europe. All start teams in these international competitions are no comparison. And the foreign FEEBLE officials that I've seen in this tourney could not officiate D1 basketball.
As for my Aussie buddy, one of your high schools played some games here last year. I officiated one of their games. I'm sad to say that their skills were under developed and their fundamentals were poor. And they got waxed by a very mediocre private school team. Worse than anything else, I don't believe a one of them bathed the entire time they were here.
