Some of us don't hold the NBA as the ultimate ideal. Matter of fact, I haven't watched an NBA game in about 5 years.
If I'm turning on an ESPN and seeing Burr/Welmer 5-6 nights a week, it's a good indication that these are the best guys. Commissioners aren't going to put their necks on the line for guys they don't trust. There's an old saying that "you don't get fired for buying IBM." Well, you won't get fired hiring Burr and Welmer. They're too solid and I can't remember a ****storm ever coming down in one of their games.
The only ****storm I remember with a big time, regular official is the Valentine/Knight incident.
