It is interesting, but not surprising, that you guys cannot stand criticism from
those who are not officials, but can be so virulent towards a profession in which you have no expertise.

Frankly, reading the comments of many on here who second guess their refereeing brethern based solely on TV coverage, makes me wonder about your professionalism.
It is very clear that you do not work basketball. You might work some baseball and softball, but I know how much easier that is to working basketball. I think you are out of your league on this topic. If you see Packer as a great guy that is OK, but he clearly gets basic things wrong when he opens his mouth. You do not have to agree; after all you are not a basketball official. I would not expect much else from you frankly.

Peace
