Good job FIBA officials

It's not very professional to try and make your point by sh!tting on another group of officials.

Methinks you and Ron Ref might have a lot in common.

JMO, but I think you may have narrowed the field as to who the board jumper is.

And I did an image search for JMO and came up with this....

Hello!
Some of refs working in the World Championship in Japan are some of the best referees in the world.
I have no doubt about it. I have seen NBA, NCAA, Euroleague and FIBA games and I think FIBA referees are outstanding.
And I think also that some of the refs in the World Championship could easily work in the NBA.
Some of them are better than the majority of NBA referees.
We have to see that the rules are diferent and the level of contact permited in the game is diferent also. So the "strange" things that some of you refer are only the FIBA interpretations that are given to the refs. Ed F. Rush is a good example. One of the best NBA referees and works in the FIBA WC alongside some other outstanding referees. There is no visible diference.
But guys like Brazauskas, Fachini, Arteaga, Martin Bertran, Carlos Renato dos Santos, Sudek, Belosevic and Zavlanos are at the level of Steve Javie, Danny Crawford, Joe Crawford, Dick Bevetta, Ed F. Rush and Bennet Salvatore.
And some of the FIBA referees are not professional referees and in the NBA everyone is a full time professional.
Thanks for your time.
