Video Replay (in-game) helping or hurting officiating?
Is the ability to check video replay during a game helping or hurting the overall skill of officials?
A. It helps as people are aware that decisions can be checked and challenged and this are more certain of what they call and make more effort to get into positions for better looks.
B. No impact. The refs are the same people and they haven't changed.
C. It's hurting as people are now being lazy and relying on the monitor to catch what they don't and bail them out. Refs often won't even make a call on the court in a close situation (OOB, last second shot, Flagrant foul or not) and just head over to the monitor to watch it several times.
