(hey, it happens!)

and i think it can act as a pay-it-forward type deal....where the crew notices how well you did at C, and they make it a point to get better at C, and so on....
Nothing makes a crew better than a great C.

The C has great looks at illegal screen, rebounding action, and drives in the paint. As the C you should get your share of calls in a game if you are active and are a good official. That's not to say you go looking for calls because sometimes you have a game where things just don't happen. For the most part, a good C will make the game better for everybody.
