imagine some things are allowed because it makes for more spectacular play,
but it's my opinion that the real fans of basketball want to see the game
played the way it should be, according to the rules.  I know I do!  I also
think there should be more senior refs who will change a bad call by a
junior one - we see that some, but some calls are so blatantly bad and
nothing's done about it.

few years, it's obvious.  Good luck.

I don't hold any respect for most NBA officials these days. For a start a
large number of them are convicted tax frauds. Who's to say this kind of
behaviour doesn't extend to activities like making calls to influence the
outcome on games, or similar activities. I'm not escalating it to the point
of Dave Stern's Big NBA Conspiracy theory, but consistent is not a word you
can describe their actions as.

Cheers
