Personally, I found this quote to be the most interesting part of the piece:

"NCI," says one ref. "It's short for 'no call incorrect.' That's what they hit you with the hardest. You're better off getting it wrong by blowing your whistle than by not blowing it."

This is exactly the difference in philosophy that we discussed with btaylor. In the NBA, you're better off making an incorrect call. In NCAA, they prefer for you to make an incorrect no-call. That's not earth-shaking, but I thought it was interesting to have that underscored by somebody within the league.
