<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"><font size=""3"">Chris Mccosky</font> Fans don't like current state of the game Here is a sample, from an e-mail sent from Charles Thun and Amanda Prince to Stern that I posted on my blog a few weeks back: "The NBA's refereeing and overuse of its technical foul policy is rife with bias, error and inequity. This is driving true fans -- and the casual fans they bring along with them -- away. "The technical foul policy is inconsistently enforced. This is illustrated by the inarguable fact that two different players can react in nearly identical ways to a perceived bad call but they do not receive identical penalties. For example, Amare Stoudemire or Rasheed Wallace (both of whom play with a fire that makes them fan favorites) innocuously gripe about a call and get called for a technical. Meanwhile, Sam Cassell or Kevin Garnett complain and wail all they want and are rarely called for technicals. Why is this? Because the referees like them more or find them less annoying? It seems obvious that personal bias on the part of the referees is interfering with the integrity of the game." </div> Link <font size=""1""><font color="blue">Shiek: Next time provide the link.</font></font>
