Just to set the record straight:
"Donaghy could have influenced the overs simply by calling more fouls. There have been reports that he topped the league in technical fouls called, but the NBA said Monday he ranked in the lower half of technicals called in each of the last two seasons." I copied this out of an article on MSN. |

An article that shows some of the trends in Donaghy's games. A few key quotes here: In 2006-07, Donaghy refereed 73 games. In those contests, the two teams combined to score 201.37 points and the average over/under was 187.9 points, a difference of more than 13 points per game. "Vegas is too good for that to happen," Bell said. "The standard range should be somewhere around five or six, maybe. Not 10 or 13." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ At the start of the 2007 calendar year, Bell said, there were 10 straight games in which Donaghy was part of the officiating crew and the point spread moved a point and a half or more before tip-off, indicating big money had been wagered on the game. In those 10 contests, according to Bell, the big money won all 10 times. Pretty damaging evidence there ------------------------------------------------------------------------ During the two years in question, teams in Donaghy's games hit the over 57% of the time, in the two years before the years in question, teams in Donaghy's games hit the over only 44% of the time. (my summary, not quote from article) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just as interesting are the numbers from April 15 to the postseason. During that stretch, there were eight games in which Donaghy was part of the officiating crew and the line moved more than a point and a half before the tip, Bell said. And in those games, including over/under bets and win/loss wagers, the big money was just 2-7. From the last quote it at least seems like he didn't try to influence any pivitol games towards the end of the season and into the playoffs.

You need to revisit the definitions section of the NFHS rulebook, particularly the definition of Guarding, particularly "4.23.d. If the opponent is airborne, the guard must have obtained legal position before the opponent left the floor.." For a small fee, and a few hours perusal, the NFHS can set you free from this ignorance. Buy a rule book. Read it. Learn it. Live it.

I must admit, OS, in the past I've felt you should be banned from the board, but now I'm not sure. If you were gone, where would I get my laughs for the day?? |

http://www.sportstricities.com/sport...-8578135c.html The NBA acknowledge the shortcomings here, where there is many. The ability for the referee to get this call right, the safety of the players involved, and the notion that running underneath a player about to score with the ball is considered good defensive strategy. NOT! Add everything up, we only need the offensive player to have started his final motion or movement to the basket. This will aid the referee to successfully make the right judgment call. Looking for when the offensive players feet left the floor as oppsed to the defenders feet getting set is ridiculous. Things are happening way too fast for me to adequately see all that. The defense can either go for the shot block or the ball, or get the hell out the way. Going for the block and causing a collision, is whacked!!!!

For OS-related verbiage, I think you also need an officiating philosophy translator as well.
