I told some of you that I would tell you when I saw it. If anyone is looking at the Sacramento-Pheonix game on NBC right now, look and see if you see 3 women officiating the game.

It might not happen all the time, but it does happen.

Peace

Nope, that wasn't the deal!

The deal was that you would let me know when you saw an all black crew work and NBA game. ;)

BTW, all the players in today's game were women too! :D

31-14 at the half. What a great contest. :(

October, November maybe???
 
Well when I can stomach a regular season NBA game, I will call you when I see an all-Black crew.

Well, if MJ comes back, it might be worth watching again.

Our association encourages us <u>not</u> to watch NBA so as to not contaminate our judgment. I generally don't, but instead go for what college I can catch. (I do watch WNBA, which seems generally pretty good officiating. Besides, Erin Buescher was our babysitter -- she's now with the Minn. Lynx.)

How can that contaminate your judgement?

While the officiating in the NBA is top notch, the contact and the way basic violations are called is very different from high school. I believe that's what Richard was alluding to.

Contamination
 
BktBallRef is right -- it is the judgment of what constitutes a foul, violation etc. plus the mechanics. Basically, the game is officiated very differently. Watching a different standard cannot help one's mental sorting, and it could hurt. With a lot to watch in a game, I don't want to be thinking "Let see, for NBA that is OK, but, no, I need to make a call here at high school." Some may be so good at officiating that this is not a factor, but for most of us it is.
