Just a sportswriter looking for something. The officials are an easy target these days. Officials were much more flamboyant when I started watching basketball in the 1970s, but I can't imagine any writer back then saying anything about how Earl Strom tweet-tweet-tweeted every call. People (writers) seemed to have more respect and less of a TMZ mindset back then.
