NBA playoffs (NBA haters stay away)

For the disbeliever.

someone pointed out how it works. any play that the evaluator can not determine with certainty goes to the official. In other words, any call that is iffy, benefit of doubt to official.

The game is scored not an individual ref. I think you know that.

There is no flaw in the system. The evaluators review every second of a game. They see every call that was made and missed. They score it.

For you it might be flawed based on how they score it. For example, A1 goes for a shot is in the air, and B1 taps A1 on the hip or knee. If you called a foul, good job, correct call as this is not a basketball play and is an automatic call. If you passed on it, incorrect call.

A1 head fakes, B1 takes fake and goes up, A1 even initiates contact.

No call, incorrect.
Foul on defense, correct.
Foul on offense, incorrect.

Miss a travel, incorrect call
Call a travel that is not a travel, incorrect call.
Oh, that looked strange, must be a travel. Repaly shows that player stepped with non-pivot foot picked up his pivot foot and shoot. Looked ugly but legal. College ref called travel, incorrect call. Player did not travel. Don't guess a travel. Replay does not lie.

A1 goes up and islightly tapped on head by defender but plays through it and lays it in. Foul, Correct call. No harm no foul, incorrect call.

Hope that gives you an idea of how they are evaluating plays. Of course, you may argue they are wrong but I believe John Adams buys into it and PAC ten officials will as that is how they are going to be evaluated.
