According to whose judgement? Yours? Do you think that's an objective, scientific method to grade others? Certainly, I don't agree. If you want my numbers, here they are.

I see 100% of what I should see and I call 100% of what I see.

That's according to my judgement, which certainly is an good as anyone else's.

This makes no sense whatsoever. If whatever they see is included in the amount of fouls and violations that make up the 100%, then that's what they should call. If it's something that you should "let go", then it wasn't enough contact for a foul in the first place, or the violation really didn't take place, so those actions shouldn't be included in the content of the list.

Peter, this post probably came out sounding a lot harsher than I meant it, and I apologize for that, but I have to tell you I agree with those that think this is just an exercise in futility.

I hope they don't think the same about my post regarding technical foul counts.
