How do you know what they get?
Ever heard of the guy named Ed Rush? How many NBA finals did he work? Have you ever met him? I was struck by his humility. One of the top refs in NBA and a down to earth, humble man from limited contact. In his contacts with the campers, he was approachable and showed no signs that he was too important or unwilling to talk or chat with anyone about anything. I have been to other type of camps where the guest speakers, amateurs, don't have the time of day for attendees. Rush is a class act. Humble person. Check your bias and hating. Have you ever met any of the observers and evaluators of the NBA? There are 11 of them. One of them is a D1 college official and lives somewhere in MD. I do not have any inkling of why the NBA chose him to be one of the eleven but I imagine they saw that he had some basketball acumen or they would not have hired him for that position. The time I stated that the officials got something like 68 percent of the calls correct in their college game, that game was broken down by video by one of the officials from the game. That was his evaluation of a game he did. D1 official evaluating his game and scores it 68. That guy will get better not the guy who thinks no way his crew is only getting 70 percent of the calls right.

I learned the part about the number of officials.
You argument using one changed call per game by the league office in the last week does not significantly affect the grade of a crew unless we are talking 10 to 20 calls in a game. Then it could range from 5 to 10 pts. It sounds good and looks good and may have provide a perception issue but it is not statistically relevant. Argument was week at the foundation. Extrapolation was flawed. You stated you know people and have talked to them but failed to mention any strong evidence to counter Mr. Rush's statement that NBA refs need to grade out much higher than 68% and that actually they need to be higher than 90%. You just stated that it could not be with no proof. If you have some, cite it or comply with the thread starter's request.  Mr. Rush was in charge of officials for some time so his info and expertise qualifies him as a expert and so your argument needs to cite another expert with similar credentials.

Basket Interference?
Tonight, 1st qtr of the Orl vs LA Game, an Orlando player appeared to block the shot of an LA player as the Orlando's player's hand went up through the basket from below - ball was not in the cylinder.
NFHS 4-6-3 - this would be a violation, correct? What's the NBA Rule? Thanks.

It should have been a goaltend. I didn't get to see it but from what I heard was that not a sole noticed it, not even the LA players, but regardless if he reaches through and contacts the ball its illegal.

Section I-A Player Shall Not: h. Touch the ball at any time with a hand which is through the basket ring. PENALTY: If the violation is at the opponent's basket, the offended team is awarded two points, if the attempt is from the two point zone and three points if it is from the three point zone. The crediting of the score and subsequent procedure is the same as if the awarded score has resulted from the ball having gone through the basket, except that the official shall hand the ball to a player of the team entitled to the throw-in. If the violation is at a team's own basket, no points can be scored and the ball is awarded to the offended team at the free throw line extended on either sideline. If there is a violation by both teams, play shall be resumed by a jump ball between any two opponents at the center circle. In the future, you can look these things up for yourself at NBA.com - Official Rules of the National Basketball Association
