I watch NBA games just so that I can watch where the officials place themselves on the court. From my observations they do a hell of a job getting in the right place at the right time. I will pause the television when they are about to shoot, or on rebounding, etc. in order to see where the 3 officials are at that time. When I do this with high school or NCAA games I tend to see more officials straight-lined and/or out of position.
Agreed 100%! The NBA officials are the very best at getting into position. They virtually NEVER get straight-lined!
