Notice Content Plan and Ideas for 2015-16

Eh, so you don't think there's been a pretty clear favoritism for superstars over the past 20 or so years?

 

The weather needs to follow Canadian weather reporter trends..

 

MAN OVERBOARD!!!!

 

Sorry but Dick Bavetta in the last 5 (maybe even 7+) years of his career was a horrible official. There was a Harden flop he called that I evaluated. He breaks several referee 101 rules. Suckage.

 

Sounds like a good movie, maybe a sequel to Brokeback mountain? Call it Stern Waves.

 

Good point...why not go the tennis route and place them on elevated chairs strategically around the court with instant replay for blind spots? They wouldn't have to run, dodge plays or balls and could fully concentrate on the court without players between them and the plays

 

I am surprised to hear that, he was a guy I never really second guessed much. I liked him better than Joey Crawford

 

Shitloads.

And who here reads bleacher report or AOL?

 

Sure and that has lots to do with it. But that's not the only thing. Simple positioning corrections would clear up a lot of the flops.

 

That could never happen. A referee needs to move. You can't be looking at asses and elbows. That's the main problem.

 

Are there a lot of instructional DVDs to learn these skills now or is it mostly on the job training?

 

Another terrible, over the hill official who needs to be taken out back and put out of his misery.

 

I would think there'd be a lot less visual obstruction..interesting

 

I really enjoyed blazercaravans small sample size theater or whatever it was called. And slys game recaps when he went were great as well.

Anyone that goes to a game and can give first hand info and observations I can vicariously live through are cool for me. Maybe a season ticket holder can put something together like that?

 

That actually would create obstruction. A referee must look between the defender and the offensive player at all times. It's called an "Open Look". This cannot be maintained by standing stationary.

 

Eventually we'll just replace the refs with a computer and adjust the difficulty slider accordingly.

 

I second dviss doing some ref content. Haven't really seen anything like that, could be really good.

 

I completely agree..I think folks here prefer articles with stats and graphics more than the off the cuff stuff I enjoy...basketball is a serious business around here!

 

You young guys need to get in the game...the old guys can't run with the Westbrooks of the league anymore

 

I love what they did with tennis line calls..it's not disputable at all and quick..pretty much took the McEnroe rant out of most tournaments
