BudBro 175 Posted December 10, 2024 Nothing on tonight, so stuck watching Knicks vs. Raptors (I know...(expletive).) Knicks should have kept RJ. But..., they'll never be good, because they're NY. I'm gonna be the one to say it. No women, and no men over 40, should be allowed to referee an NBA game...most likely, not a men's college game either. On every occasion, the woman transitioning from trail to lead couldn't catch the action. Worse, the fat man in C couldn't catch it either. Both are blocked. Can't see s**t. Then, they go to a review (because Karl Anthony Townes fell down again...how difficult and tiring is it to watch this dude?)....and the mf'ers still get it wrong. That's with video review. Why not just call "incidental contact" and move on? There is a WNBA, as unbearable as it is. Women have a place to do their DEI stuff and still make the tv screen. No woman should officiate any basketball contest between men, even at jr. high level. Just sayin' it. You go become a ref and we can talk, after you've run it a few years. Old, fat black men who can no longer keep the pace have a place, too. But, it isn't on an NBA court. It isn't on an NAIA jv court, either. And we don't want you on a high school court, since you decided to disregard all basketball rules when you made "the jump." Moreover, old, white men who can't make the transition from trail to lead also have no place on any basketball court outside of the Y. AD's think refs are overpaid. Refs think they are underpaid, because people yell at them from the stands when they miss traveling 32 times a night. If you watch a few games, you'd side with the AD's.

MLCKAA 560 Posted December 10, 2024 Basketball is fun to play and can sometimes be fun to watch, but it is a fundamentally flawed game that is truly impossible to officiate. I agree with everything you said here, but hoping for better is a fool’s errand. It cannot be effectively officiated without significant rule changes and at least one additional official, maybe 2.
