Simmons is entertaining.
The NBA is a product, not a sport. Has been for a decade. I don't know what caused it, but it is nothing but entrainment at whatever cost.
As a result, the officiating has become a part of that show. Sorry to say, but NBA officials work in a completely different world. I'd be curious to see how Javie/Crawford types would do in a Final Four game. My guess is not nearly as good as Wood/Burr etc.
Sadly, the college game is turning into the same thing. College basketball WILL look like the NBA does today in 30 years, if this pattern continues. Part of that is the officiating. But it all comes down from the top, those who want to create maximum profit for that fiscal year at all costs. No different than most private companies in the past 10 years come to think of it!
