Third--if you would get off your high horse and read what I said was that they should be removed if there is a pattern of poor calls. Read "pattern" -- that implies a longer time, over multiple games, perhaps over several seasons. Seems as though you are being a bit sensitive over this.

Fourth, I'm no dukie -- I root for Dayton and Michigan State if that is even relevant.
First- I'm wounded to the quick, Sir. I have always been noted for my class, savoir faire and even, if I may say so myself, a slight touch of natural elan.

Second-- So....if you're not a basketball referee, exactly what are you qualifications when it comes to determining whether a bad call was made or not? Countless hours of watching games and listening to the announcers?

Third- Again, if you are not a basketball official, exactly what are your qualifications that will allow you to determine that a basketball official should be removed from his avocation/vocation? And yes, I certainly am kind of sensitive when ignorant fanboys advocate firing officials when they've never officiated a basketball game in their lives and also don't know or understand the rules, mechanics and philosophies used.

Fourth- You might not be a Dookie fanboy but there's really no difference when it comes to your genus. You're just another typical fanboy wandering through. You've never officiated a basketball game in your life. That don't matter though. Instead of asking if a bad call was made in the game, you tell us that a bad call was made. Typical fanboy crap iow.
