Extra ref, keep your challenge if it is successful.

Some of us listed that multiple times.

We aren’t just waving our fists at the clouds.

Extra challenge

 

[bksballer89]

So, they shouldn’t try?

Just accept the fucked upness of it all and grin and bare it?

Refs are the greatest. No need for additional challenges or etc to help them with the screwed up calls

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Sure, you need a mix, and you're right younger doesn't necessarily mean better.

It's not really fixable. Yes try to do better, yes highlight the egregious ones, but in the end it's just the nature of a sport played at warp speed with huge guys and tricky rules.

Agree.

The bang bang plays really come down to semantics.

I don’t have any issues with that.

Its the other ones.

The L2M report is just gasoline on a forest fire for the anti-ref contingent.

I don’t think I fall into that category.

I don’t think any of us do.

But, haters usually don’t.

[Wamu]

Exactly.

None of us are saying we have a tried and true solution here.

We are just saying the problem does exist.

The “ Well, thats just the way it is “ hand wave is not the way to go.

How about outlawing running in the NBA? Make it all speed walking. Then refs shouldn't miss as many calls.

Put pockets on the shorts and mandate defenders to have their hands in them at all times.

Also, no jumping.

You ain't kidding, bro.

The people of Walmart really is a thing.

It’s tweakerville.

I am all for changing the challenge system, using expedited reviews and adding an official.

That won’t be enough for the crowd who thinks officials are incompetent.

 

[bksballer89]

Such a bust. Imagine wasting your 6th overall pick on this

Yeah, nobody is saying that.

Here in town the library had to be closed when meth was discovered in the bathrooms last month.

The racist receipt checker pissed me the fuck off ...just scanned the white people's receipts before us.

Snatched the receipt outta my wife's hand and asked, "What were you doing here today?"

Me: "What the fuck do you think? Shopping."

She glares at me and keeps looking down at it.

Me: "can you hurry up? I wanna go home and watch football."

Her: "I am doing my job."

Me: "okay, you're taking too long. We are leaving. Bye."

Her: "I am not done."

Me: "Fuck off, Karen. We paid for our stuff. You sure didn't take this long with the white people before us. Racist ass bitch."

 

[Wamu]

Yeah, nobody is saying that.

I know how to solve everything. Have a cannon outside of each arena. When the refs screw up shot them out of it.

That will get the other refs in line pretty quick.

You didn't say that last part.

 

[DJ Fieri]

You didn't say that last part.

I sure the fuck did.

 

[msgkings322]

I sure did.

I stand corrected

Dude…..


In most cases, a missed call is not a life or death situation.

Well, unless it’s a soccer game in a third world country.

That could get you clipped.

I don’t think I’m anti-ref.

I can’t recall complaining about a call against my team.

You say it isn’t getting worse while others think it is.

I think the reason for that is increased viewership.

It used to be, we could only watch games in our market or the ones televised on TNT.

Now, I can watch every game, for every team.

So, obviously that is the catalyst for some of the increased volume of bad calls.

It's more games watched but really it's the instant replays that fly all over Twitter after every missed call

Arizona is a weird transplant state.

You have the retirement community demographic and the really young college kids.

Very few in between.

So, most of the greeters/receipt checkers are elderly.

If that’s also the case where you are, did she have her glasses on?

Seriously, they usually put the people with mobility scooters in that position here.

So, maybe she couldn’t see?

Absolutely.

Social media also plays a huge part.

Every missed call goes up in seconds and spreads like a wildfire, going viral, in minutes.

Great point.
