The NBA refs officiate a game and then break down the entire game in the locker room. They have to pay for making rule mistakes and each call is graded. The two officials mentioned make a lot of money. Probably over $200k. I have also heard that they make $75k if they make it to the finals. That sure is a lot of money to risk when you know you are going to be caught on film and everything you do will receive a grade. Not to mention how long it took both of them to make it where they are now. Not to mention this is their full-time gig.
It makes perfect sense to risk all of that so you can stick it to Larry Brown and the Pistons. NOT!

I've been in a situation when it seems like a team never wins when I have their game. Part of it had to do with the coach being an idiot and me being dumb enough to make the appropriate call because of this. Well, I stuck to my guns and did the right thing every time I had his team no matter what. This isn't any different from what I do for any game since it would be much more difficult to lean one way or the other. My last year at State in Nevada before I moved he wanted me on the finals game. He knew he was getting the same official at home, on the road or in the state finals.
