Using tennis as a reference, we should have 55 officials. :eek:

In basketball, the officials mostly watch and judge the movements of the players, moving at sub-maximum human speeds.

In tennis, the officials mostly watch and judge the movements of the much smaller ball, moving at much higher speeds, and at times, up to 140 mph. Even so, the use of video and computer enhanced ball tracking is helpful.

Just a bit of a difference . . . :)
