John Adams Talks Controversial Calls

[johnny d]

tio, i agree with je. you need to listen to the whole clip. it was his feeling that there need to be more blocking fouls, but when they went and analyzed the data (ie reviewed the video) it turned out that they were getting the calls wrong by calling too many blocks. i think adams point is we need to get the call correct, not how many blocks or charges are called.

I see both sides of this -- officials have defaulted to the charge on block/charge plays instead of refereeing the defense. That doesn't mean we need to revert back to the days when some officials would call everything a block, either.
