I don't have a real problem with this article, but it does remind me of a big pet peeve of mine.

A couple of referee decisions can decide a basketball game.

After all, the opposition only receives two free throws. This might be a big deal at the end of a close game, but when put into the context of a full game with all the missed shots and 50/50 calls, two free throws isn’t much.

Flip-flop?
So if a referee makes one or two bad calls during a game it's a bad thing, as it can decide a game. But a coach purposely giving the opposition two free throws (and possession, mind you... which he forgot to add), can be a good strategy?
Unreal.
