The Bobby Knight effect

[Adam]

I was reffing with my glasses one game (I almost always wear contacts, but one had ripped and I'd not yet gone to disposable lenses). After calling a line violation on a home free throw shooter, I heard someone in the crowd behind me, "You'd be better off without the glasses."

My partner last week said he had someone shout during a quiet moment, "Hey ref, I know you can't see. I work for the eye doctor and you missed your appointment."
