This is the dichotomy of basketball officiating. The people who make the rules have nothing to do with those who hire and assign the officials. Despite annual POE's that plea for a reduction in rough play from NFHS and NCAA, local assignors determine how the game should be called under their jurisdiction.

Aspiring officials would do well to heed these experienced voices who say pay attention to the assignors.

I think I finally get it.

I don't understand the NBA philosophy at times. How was it that Dirk was bailed out on phantom foul calls in games three and four to win the games and Tim could not get the same call in the last game? I don't like to see games decided in the final ten seconds at the foul line if possible, but the Spurs deserve the same calls at the end of the game that the Mavs got in my opinion.

Those are obviously judgment calls that neither you nor I are qualified to make since we're not at that level and weren't there to see the plays in-person. I don't know which calls you're referring to specifically, but the officials obviously determined that the fouls against Dallas required a call instead of the one against San Antonio.

There is a huge difference between a foul called with 40 seconds left and one called with 1 second left. You're not getting a foul to end the game unless someone gets out a chainsaw.

I disagree that we aren't capable of judging these calls as incorrect. Replay shows us clear as day that fouls and missed. It's just wrong to say that we could have made a better call or been in a better position to make that call during live play.

Game three, Dirk Nowitski got a rebound and was fouled with 8 seconds left to decide the game. Tim Duncan did the same thing in game seven, except he was actually hit, and there was no call. The other one was Dirk got a call late when he actually forearmed Bowen in the chest and the foul was called on Bowen and the calls were very late in the game and decided the games.

It's a conspiracy, Dave. Don't bother calling David Stern; he's in on it.

Hey DAVE30.....

I think I would call a foul here. What do you think? Has it to do with NBA rules or am I mislead with my judgement? Anyways, there is absolutely no complaining out there about the refs not making this call, so probably they were just right not to make it!

Cheers, Kostja
Dave30, where were you during this discussion??? I don't care one way or another and I didn't see any of the plays live, but I don't remember seeing your opinion on this play nor Kostja's comments.

That is exactly what Bowen is doing in this picture. This is one of the cleanest blocks you will ever see.
If in your judgment contact between the player's hips, shorts, biceps, or hair on this play warrants a foul, then you need to do some personal reflection.
Jump Ball??????

This is why everyone complained about the officiating at the Olympics, LOL.

The only definite contact seen in this picture is Bowen's forearm on Nowitzki's hand, which is legal contact.

There could be contact at the hip, and at Nowitzki's shoulder, and Bowen's elbow might be about to smack into Dirk's head, but this picture doesn't show any of these clearly, nor does it show the severity of the contact. Based solely on this picture, this is not a foul.

Fotunately, FEEBLE refs don't officiate NBA playoff games.

You can't call a foul based on a photo.

Bowen's block was clean of course! Refs didn't want to bail Dirk out three games in a row!
