Referees need to be the center of attention, after all, the game is all about their officiating prowess. Notice how it’s always white referees who do that? It’s racism!

No ppl are complaining about officiating because they are ruining the game. Adam Silva needs to hold officials accountable as much as he does players. I honestly don’t watch as much games because its so stop and start. The officials are too involved.

I agree the refs need to call the plays & keep out of the game as much as possible. Its not about them!

I find it funny players get fined constantly and can’t say anything bad about refs but the rwfs can bet and influence games. Throw games etc, and Adam silver does nothing.

I’m not sure why refs don’t get relegated to the G League and promote G League refs to take the spot of bad refs for good officiating?

Hey, let’s ask these players to play as hard they possibly can, giving all emotional and physical effort possible without showing any emotion. Ready go
Same with football. Officiating is ruining professional sports

If a ref calls a tech that later gets rescinded by the league, that ref should have to pay a fine. There has to be accountability for giving out bad techs, for whatever reason. Sure the player doesn’t get fined after the tech was rescinded, but you can’t take away the points from the free throws after the game ended lol.
Fining the refs will make them more hesitant to give out techs.
