Duck1, Just my opinion, but I have to disagree. We already have supervisors, camps and the coaches who review and judge our ability to work. We are not robots. I don't believe stats would help the game or the officials. So you have some officials that call more fouls on a player. I'm sure you will find another official who did't call many fouls on a player. You would have to analyze the position of the officials, the game flow, the attitudes of players and coaches and many other things that play into the official's decision to call or not call a foul or any other violation for that game. Officials can't decide to themselves to make foul calls or no calls on a player. If they did they can't concentrate on the game and they would screw it up. Then they wouldn't be working long. Our ability to call a good game depends on our ability to concentrate.
