It would be too distracting to me.

Funny watching the 2 ladies walk up on Simpson.

Technical Foul caught on referee cam:



WNBA debuts referee cam in Mercury-Fever game - ESPN

Quote:
"The first half, it took some adjusting to, especially when you started running and actually broke a sweat," the veteran official said. "The goggles started to loosen up and the sweat around the band started to loosen up. The first half was pretty much just adjusting the headset."

By the second half, Simpson said he barely noticed it.

ha ha, that's kind of cool. I say use it sparingly, maybe once or twice a quarter at the most.

Yeah...If I had it on I'm sure the control room would be laughing about all the time I'd have it focused on the cheerleaders/babes in the crowd.

I'd always be focused on the concession stand.

And they take down the video before I get to see it?? Bummer. I'll be honest, if I find out a ref is going to wear one of these again, I would actually make an effort to tune in.

As goofy as the hardware is, I think it gives an interesting perspective on the game.

I would not be surprised to see this become a training tool at camps and clinics in the near future.

As an observer for my local association I would love to be able to sit down with an official and have the "what did you see" conversation while actually seeing what they saw.
