Reply to comment by ntilikina4thewin in Monty Williams draws $20,000 fine for criticizing referees. by PrincessBananas85

I disagree... the problem IS the old blood Refs who think they are bigger than the game. It would also incentivize even calling of games (as each players vote is equal) and more respect in regard to calling Technical fouls.

Refs have too much power to influence the game... In any sport... American Football is probably the worst, slightly ahead of Basketball.

not that it matters but I think you are not correct about NFL reffing. They are willing to review the calls with video often. The NFL problem imo is that they have made the rules so technical that it has kind of lost the spirit of the game. Specifically, things like the way they define what is a catch and what is a fumble vs an incomplete pass. Not to say that they dont get it wrong but NBA refs have basically full subjectivity because almost any play can be called for any contact. but again just my opinion.

I'm saying the consequences of the call in the NFL probably are much harsher than than that of an NBA call.

I.E. a turnover in football matters way more than a turnover in the NBA

My bad in my mind I added balance to your suggestion like players vote then they check the tape with the rules of the game which will have a higher impact on new refs. Now that I reread it that’s fucking stupid the players rate the officials. It’s not going to be based on fairness the player vote would be in how the official refed their game. CP3 is like 0- a million when foster refs but when they check the tapes the calls comeback overwhelming correct. There’s more no calls than anything. I’m all for descending technicals and using technology to help ref, but like coach SVG said the verbal abuse is ridiculous.

I do agree the votes would be biased but you'd think that the biases would cancel out. So if CP3 hates one ref and rates him poorly, the perceived bias against CP3 should benefit someone else who then likes that ref.

personally, I'd just like to ditch Scott Foster. That fuck was 100% involved in the Tim Donaghy shit and it is outrageous that he is still a ref
