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.
