I am somewhat surprised to se the first two responses, because it seems that I have seen a lot of adjusting going on from experienced refs. Just my view from the bench, obviously. I can understand why you don't want to adjust, but it sure makes it hard when we ot partners who aren't on the same page.

Hawks Coach,
Tony Haire has been working with the same partners for years. You gotta know what you are gonna get when they hit the floor.
In many areas, the people, that offer contracts, may offer games to officials that have never met, or even seen each other work. Maybe those officials are from different associations, or no association, and have been taught, or not taught, different philosophies.
If the contracts were given to one official, who then puts his crew on the floor, you may be more apt to get "one" game called at a time.

Maybe it's the system.
