If Dick Bavetta rates as one of the top 9 (or whatever number you decide) officials, then use him in the Finals - if not, he sits at home to watch like you and me. Don't just assign him because he's worked the Finals the last 10yrs in a row.

And who are you to say that isn't already being done? Have you seen the NBA officials rankings? Do you know for a fact that the highest rated officials aren't being used?
