My personal opinion is that officiating in the NBA might just be the hardest officiating job in all sports. The league has been geared to entertainment, with an accompanying relaxation of their own written playing rules. Having to figure out
when or
who to call traveling or palming on when your boss doesn't want
every palm or travel called has to be hard. And also trying to figure out what contact affects or doesn't affect a play sure has to be difficult too. I've seen plays where the contact didn't look like much at all, but one of the players came out of it with a broken nose.
Again, this is jmo, but I really think that today's players have outgrown the size of the court. Lengthen and widen the court, and let 'em spread out and show their skills. Go to the bigger lane. If they can't dribble or pass on the bigger court, then they ain't gonna play until they learn how. And they will learn. It should get rid of the sumo matches that some games look like now too.
