While the lack of signature may indicate lack of sincerity to you, you failed to take the letter for its content instead of focusing on whether or not the letter is signed. The content of the letter is nevertheless true. That is what matters.
Regarding John Adams, he has publically already stated at NCAA clinics that unless you work in a high profile league, i.e. the Big 6, you will not officiate in the regionals. What difference should it matter to the NCAA if officials work the lockout. The NCAA season has yet to play a game!
Furthermore, officials who have mid-majors as their primary leagues have NO opportunity to advance past the 1st or 2nd rounds, no matter how well they officiate in the tourney IF they get selected at all. That is "elitist" treatment in itself. However, that is another story.
The fact of the matter is that Joe Forte should not exercise his PERSONAL agenda against officials who decide to take the opportunity of officiating in the NBA during the lockout. Another fact...17 of the veterans NBA referees were at one point in time lockout referees themselves. For Joe to treat them the way illustrates a bit of hypocrisy.
If an official makes a decision, he has to live with that decision, but to hide behind the title of assignor or coordinator of officials to hinder someone or attempt to control who they work for or when they work is nothing but an attempt to demonstrate power. That is NOT treating someone fairly.
Keep it real!!
