Shoo, shoo......

I haven't watched the NBA for years. It is no longer basketball. Do you know it was a foul if you even touched a player when Dr. Naismith invented this great game? It is a shame people of your calibre are even allowed to put on the striped uniform. Too many officials have become so intimidated by the star players and coaches that they cower over their disapproval. They are like puppy dogs seeking approval from those who may propel their careers to new heights, or at least allow them to officiate the big games.

The game is in a sad state right now. On a positive note, though, with a good new director and commissioner college and professional basketball could be returned to its greatness once again, BY SIMPLY ADHERING TO THE RULES. Imagine that!

You wouldn't know a rule if it bit you in the A$$!

BC22, IMO, you make some very good points...but I can also guarantee you, they will not be heard here.

BC I agree with you that the game is in a sad state. The salaries in the NBA, the troubles of recruiting and the graduation rate of a student athlete, the hip-hop culture of the game to the point where the athlete thinks he can do whatever he wants without consequences, all of this may have or may not have anything to do with the STATE of the game. What you fail to understand is this is an officials forum. If you or Indy are insinuating that the current state of the game of basketball is due to the officials not "adhering to the rules", then you (fanboy), and refs like Indy and OS don't have a clue. In today's high tech environment, there is very little that an official can and cannot do that is not so closely scrutinized by people with actual rules and mechanics knowledge. In some cases, if not most, every call we make can and is scrutinized by supervisors, assignors, evaluators, clinicians or whatever. So for you (fanboy), and people like Billy Packer to insinuate that the game of basketball is in a sad state due to the officiating is totally asinine. My .02.
