I just think it isn't in the best interest for basketball when officials are doing things that move them out of the best position. IMO, this is done to "look" like they are hustling and into the game. It is false hustle and I've been at camps where film was broken down showing several missed calls.

The question is, do we gloss over this because of the amount of high profile games they are getting? What about campers who try to immitate these actions and are told they are out of position - "Hello kettle, my name is pot."

Officials in other parts of the country - big name D1 officials - don't have respect for west coast officials because of things like this.
