Which was my only point. In the NBA he gets paid handsomely to get abused.


And it is interesting to see how many here will dismiss a photograph in one case, yet embrace another one, or a youtube video, to underscore their feelings.
Very few camera angles tell the story from the official's perspective and none of them, with the exceptions of timing and line calls, can ever be believed as proving or disproving the call on the floor or on the field.
