In no uncertain words can I say how idiotic that line of thinking is, and I just shake my head when I hear officials say that.

The best camp I've ever been to was headed by NBA guys, and I probably learned more about basketball officiating there than all other camps combined.

I am late in joining the discussion about the quality of NBA officials and I have to agree with Tony and APG. I know one retired NBA official and have attended seminars given by Joey Crawford. Yes, we mere mortals joke about NBA officials being paid to NOT blow their whistles, BUT, NBA officials are at the top of the mountain in our basketball officiating profession.
