Lack of signature shows the depth of sincerity.

If the NBA refs picketed, would the players' union cross the line?

From what I've heard, John Adams is not too high on NCAA officials working for the NBA either.

Interesting letter.

While I agree it seems unfair, independent contractorship is a two way street. Just as NCAA refs -- a term I use for convenience in speaking, we all know the NCAA does not have an officiating staff -- are free to work wherever and for whomever they like, assigners and commissioners are free to hire whom thy like.

This issue is definitely not unique to this situation. Anyone who works for multiple assigners has to deal with it to some extent. Even in my officiating career, which is modest by any standard, I have run into this issue.

Nevertheless, good luck with the letter.
