During the local sports talk radio show here, they were discussing the Hall of Fame electees (and how local coach Guy Lewis should be in)...then went off on a little bit of a rant wondering how a referee could ever get into the Hall.
Interestingly enough, Jeff Van Gundy and Chris Mullan were both lauding the fact that Joe Crawford and Dick Bervetta were working a game together (the fact both of them had officiating in the NBA longer than some of the players had been alive) and that they were both future Hall of Famers...
Anyhow, congrats to Mr. Nichols
