It's A Myth ...

It is my opinion that many fans, players, and coaches, believe that officials determine the outcome of a game. Officials know that it's only a myth. No different than fans yelling three seconds when the ball is still in the backcourt. This "outcome of the game" myth should not be ignored. It needs to be "busted".

He's just saying the "myth busters" schtick is getting old from overuse. I'm not saying he's right, but I'm just sayin'...

The Forum keeps getting the same mythological questions from newbies, players, coaches, and fanboys, all the time. The list was a group effort. It's just a simple way to answer these type of questions. Just a simple copy and paste. Boring? Yes. But so are some of the mythological questions we get, on the Forum, and in real life. What's wrong with having a little fun with the same old, same old, questions by using the same old, same old, Mythbusters list?
