standards of the refs
"Apart form the abundance of charge calls, which I think is mostly related to interpretation anyway, I think the refs are doing a reasonable job, and if anything slightly improved."
I agree with this, the overall way they are reffing is helping to produce some great, fast-paced, attacking basketball. If they could get the charge/block/flop stuff consistent (please just tell the refs to give the benefit to the offensive player and defenders won't fall down nearly as much) then I think a lot of the incidents that cause consternation will disappear.
The reffing has been very poor this season I think because the same refs are making the same mistakes week in week out and there is no penalty for having poor performances. Every time I turn the nbl on it's either the blonde ref, the fat little guy or the older balding guy. How about having a decent sized panel of refs to choose from and hold them accountable for their performance.
So many times guys going to the rack and they get whacked in the head but the ref is only looking at the ball. A lot of bogut's blocks are fouls because he uses his off hand to propel of the opponents body.
Anybody else getting annoyed with the standard of the OP? I think the standard of the forum has improved and is professional, but the standard of the OP seems to be way below.
