I'm not saying anything should happen to them. I'm just saying what is a likely consequence.

Have you ever spoken to any (former) Big South/Conference Carolina basketball offcials who worked during the NBA labor dispute?

Or has he spoken to any of the officials that did this the last time in 2001? Or better yet, can he tell us what D1 conferences any of those officials are working today?

If he did this the the reason almost every major conference official completely passed on this "opportunity."

How about if everyone just leaves the replacement officials make their own decisions. They are all adults, understand the situation at hand, and aren't as naive and ignorant as some of you think they are.

Did it ever cross anyone's mind that they are doing this because they are willing to take the risk?

Personally, I don't care about former Big South officials or the NBA, no offense. I'm sure you're trying to say that it's a lesson that everyone should learn from. But to be honest, it has nothing to do with the broader points that I have made about this specific situation.

You've made no points of significance to me and I really don't care about your opinion on the replacement/regular officials. You made the idiotic statement that most people here think the replacement officials should suffer for their decision. I merely pointed out that there could be career consequences and there have been in the past in smiliar situations. If that bothers you then that's your shortcoming, not mine. You're juvenile response tells me all I need to know about your mentality.
