Linked below is a pretty good article on Bryan Kersey, a D-1 official and son of NBA referee Jess Kersey. Take a look. I think most of you will enjoy it.

“Referees aren't people. They're devils incarnate out to screw our favorite team. They're poorly trained hacks with little regard for the game. Or so you'd think from the most imaginative profanity that is showered upon them by fans, coaches and -- occasionally -- players.
…
Referees are driven, knowledgeable and fiercely competitive. They are well-trained, handsomely compensated and constantly scrutinized. They are nomadic hoops junkies who paid their dues officiating cops, welders and postal workers.”


OHHH that’s great!
Thanks
