hey...if you're adding refs why not do it tennis style...each on a tall chair...one behind each backboard, 2 on each side of the court..with whistles...clean up the court altogether
So much better to have giant camera guys on the ground and women and children courtside don't you think? Ever see a tennis player injured trying to save a point by a refs chair?
How is it physically possible to have to save a point about to be scored on you that travels near the refs chair, as the refs chair is directly in line with the net?
Have the refs sit in hammock chairs suspended from the ceiling. Give the fans pinada sticks in case a player runs into them and they start swinging over the paying customers.
I don't know, at the end of the day 5 bags of shit will accomplish the same as 3 bags of shit. It's going to smell bad and will inevitably find a way to ruin your night. Artificial intelligence is the only logical option.
I know you're a pro and have learned the modern ref game but I disagree if you have 5 refs placed on each qtr of the floor above the players, I contend you'd have a less obstructed view and like all other sports...replay could resolve anything in question...it would be different for sure
I think they're horrible human beings and a detriment to society. Immoral men, valuing bribes and sexual favors over fairness and integrity. Anarchists who love to watch the world burn, and blow their whistles while it does. So unfulfilled and resentful in their own lives that they seek to destroy the dreams of others. Failed athletes with Napoleon complexes who are given a modicum of authority in two-and-a-half hour spurts and use that temporary clout to undermine athletes working their asses off by continuously failing at their job. Unable, or just unwilling, to live up to the standards in which they hold others. Biased, emotionally stunted and incompetent. I'm sure they hate puppies too.
That's straight out of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas!!! Folks, the new Hunter Thompson! Enjoyed the post!
Keep it simple. Chairs hanging over the middle of the floor on ropes. If you want technology, go full bore. No human refs, just cameras transmitting to computers in Secaucus, New Jersey. You are needed in the police threads.
Actually, that's not how it'd work. Here's how 5 man would work - from the article I linked: That actually makes sense, really.
It doesn't make sense. Why have 3 refs running and crossing paths with 2 stationary refs? I like my system better.
Answer: It's not physically possible to hit a ball from ones side, have it hit the opponents side, then have it hit the chair, as one would have to put a RPM amount of spin on the ball that is physically impossible for a human to achieve.
Read it again. The 3 man system just like it is now, with the other 2 stationary at each end line in the unoccupied endline ref side... There will be no criss crossing because the only time they will will be on dead ball situations.. I.e. after a foul call. All they are doing is adding 2 more sets of eyes.
They would never cross paths. The other 2 end line referees would rotate to the opposite side of the trail referee. I could see this working.
