Tray, with all due respect, you're asking your question in the wrong place b/c "that position" is officiating in the NBA. As far as I know, nobody on this board has done that. Some of us work NCAA ball, a few of us have worked the minor leagues (CBA, USBL, ABA), and one of us has even worked in the WNBA.
But if you want to ask the guys who have been in "that position" (namely, calling fouls on Dirk, Shaq, AI, and The Truth), you're going to have to look elsewhere.
In all seriousness, maybe you could track down the email address for Stu Jackson or Ed Rush and ask them. They are the NBA VP for Basketball Operations and the Director of Officials, respectively. Good luck. If you get a response from one of them, I hope you will return here to share it with us.
