NBA Ref Article

Personally, I found this quote to be the most interesting part of the piece:

"NCI," says one ref. "It's short for 'no call incorrect.' That's what they hit you with the hardest. You're better off getting it wrong by blowing your whistle than by not blowing it."

This is exactly the difference in philosophy that we discussed with btaylor. In the NBA, you're better off making an incorrect call. In NCAA, they prefer for you to make an incorrect no-call. That's not earth-shaking, but I thought it was interesting to have that underscored by somebody within the league.

I was interested to read that the guys were going back reviewing tapes of when they reffed with Donaghy and still couldn't find anything even in hind sight.

Yeah it's kinda funny that we talked about that. It's going to be interesting to see if that is changed at all in the upcoming season(s).
