Marc Davis

[APG]

Marc Davis (along with Ed Malloy) made his first Finals appearances last year.

And this whole bit about Marc Davis not being held accountable (assuming League Offices don't like the T) is silly. If they don't like the T, they'll rescind it, and maybe in this case, release a statement. If they really think the call is bad, they may even fine him and/or suspend him for a game or two. These things do happen, but the NBA (or any other professional sporting league in North America except for a rare occasion) doesn't make it public as a matter of policy .

And if you did not watch the game live, you probably did not even know this took place. I doubt there is going to be much of an press release for this T even if they did not like the call.

But the made free throw from the technical foul is not rescinded.

This goes along with my theory.

Obviously you are right Snaqs. Tmagan is obviously a fanboy and a troll, the NBA will not miss this "fan".

That point isn't germane to the discussion. Your initial point is SOMETHING has to be done for credibility sake. If the NBA believes this is something they need to make public statement (assuming they rescind the T) they'll issue a statement saying Evans should not have been issued a T (much like they just came out recently stating there should have been an away-from-the-play foul in game 6 of the Hawks v. Celtics game).

Your next point seemed to be about being held accountable. As you've been told, officials in the NBA are held accountable...it's just the NBA doesn't feel the need to publicize this, in general. No amount of amateurs and uneducated public making websites tracking this and that and giving calls their own grades, though having no training in how to calls games at the professional level is going to change that.

Generally we know how NBA officials are graded. We didn't see Olandis Poole, Eli Roe or Tommy Nunez Jr. make the NBA postseason this year even though they all have at least seven years experience. The top twelve officials we know because they make the Finals.

In terms of baseball, Doug Eddings hasn't made a baseball postseason since 2005.

We also remember after a bad postseason for the umpires a couple of years ago, two MLB umpire supervisors lost their jobs.

OK, then why are you worried about this situation then? If you already know as you say, then we will find out rather soon what the NBA thinks of Davis or any official right?

Okay...and?

[rockyroad]

Doug Eddings had a couple of seasons where he was "graded" fairly low by MLB and the umpire system they have in place. And the supervisors that were fired by MLB were not fired over one call.

To say that Davis - or any official - should be fired or be "done" because of one call, which may or may not have been graded poorly, is ridiculous. Even if it was an egregiously bad call, tmagan, you honestly believe that one call should cost this official the remainder of the playoffs? So basically you are falling into the whole "the refs cost us the game" camp?

Really?
