Golly - I don't see a lot of "blasting" refs in this forum - I do see a lot of "it looked like it should have been called this way" in a manner to provoke discussion. This is the way that we improve as referees - by discussing certain plays and trying to decide what the best call is. We all (us referee types) recognize that officials (even the best!) make mistakes. By watching and learning from each other, we hope to become better referees.
The only people getting blasted around here tend to be the commentators, who think they know the game of basketball, but, just like the officials on the floor, have to make snap judgement calls and are prone to error as well. I'd sooner pick on the Billy's of the world ...
Cheers!
