Now someone is going to try to tell me that the 90 BEST OFFICIALS in the country did WORSE than that over the course of the ENTIRE tournament? No way. Simply not believable.
Point well taken!! i have felt like that in my early days and even confirmed it a couple times on film!!! But you have a valid point.

now let me ask a couple more questions:

-Do you think these are really the 90 best, outstanding, PLAYCALLERS in the country? You don't think there are a plethora of early to mid 30 yr. olds who could do better?
-Do you think these "90 best" focus more on play calling or game managing and by that i mean do you think they make more foul calls based on its a foul or not a foul vs. "I can get away with this foul" to keep everything in check? Cause if they think with the mindset of the latter then they think they get all kinds of plays right night in and night out??

I'm just posing the question and would like to hear your answer cause i think you have a realistic outlook and knowledge in this area?
