3 NBA playoff officials rated at 95% accuracy = 15% ICCs

Everyone knows that no official has ever asked for/offered up help on an out of bounds call because one team's mass of fans who've been silent all night go ballistic.

But don't ever listen to 'em

I see this more happen when the players really react to an out of bounds call that goes against them rather than the fans' reaction.

5% incorrect X 3 officials = 15%.....

is this the same level-headed, clear-thinking judgement that you demonstrate on the floor?

i can now see why you quickly dismiss feedback/comments from others....BECAUSE IT MUST HAPPEN ALL THE TIME!!!

Wow.

If each official is 95% right, then that's 95+ 95+95 = 285 right out of 100+100+100 = 300 possible. 285/300 = 95%

And, since someone else on the crew might get the ones they miss, then the crew average is likley higher.

By your math, we could have 20 officials and miss 100% of the calls.
