2) You don't use the advantage/disadvantage philosophy when officiating basketball??

5) The officials are there for a reason do not knock them. It is the highest level of basketball.

1) Good for Joe DeRosa. My personal
guess is that it's 1.23%. Now, you tell me. Which one of our
guesses is right...and prove it.
2) Are you serious? I sureashell do and I try to teach it too. Unfortunately you don't seem to understand the philosophy. You do
NOT use advantage/disadvantage on freaking
violations.....unless you really are officiating in the NBE. That's absolutely ridiculous. You apply advantage/disadvantage to contact to decide whether that contact is legal or not. Are you really saying that we should ignore traveling in the backcourt if there's no pressure? Or maybe a dribbler stepping on a sideline with nobody around? I don't know where you learned your philosophies from...it sounds like it came from the NBE .....but
real basketball doesn't use those philosophies
3) You know how I can tell people who don't really have a good argument? They use phrases like "don't be over-officious" instead of using actual rules, mechanics and accepted officiating philosophies. Sorry, but that one just doesn't work with anybody that's officiated more than a season or two. It's meaningless.
4) Yup, they blow a lot of fouls in the NBE. Not much traveling or palming or little things like that, but a lot of fouls. Too bad they don't call those fouls the same against the home team or the stars though.
5) You missed my point completely. I'm not knocking the officials. I'm knocking the clowns who are
making the officials call the pro game under entertainment philosophies rather than by their own rules. I'm blaming the jerks who tell the officials not to call traveling if someone is about to make one of those ESPN highlight reel dunks.
Something tells me that we just ain't gonna agree in this one.
