Doubtful, in a setting governed, for good or for bad, by judgement calls.
Whereas I appreciate any media resource that upholds and fosters good, old fashioned morality, I don't rightly think that the context of basketball officials rendering split second decisions on OOB calls is the best scenerio through which to promote it.
Yep, I've had to say, "Thanx, but I've gotta go with what I called." That usually settles it. But I'd hate someone to make a commercial out of it, that's for sure!
