Just look at these Olympics and you will see what unbiased, professional refereeing looks like. Jumping into defenders when in the air is a no call, traveling is called etc.
it is definitely refreshing to see. But we know once the nba starts the same **** refs are gonna come back and dictate who wins how many games.
You can see the same thing in college ball. The refs aren't the problem, it's the league that influences them that's the problem.
They could call traveling, not fall for flopping etc. I agree that the NBA league office and how they are instructing referees to call games is part of the problem though.
Wait, what? Unless I'm mistaken, wasn't everyone complaining about how awful the refs were in the NCAA Tourney a few months ago?
Good point actually. By the standards college fans have come to expect, They did a piss poor job. By NBA standards, they were the best refs to ever grace the hardwood. We really do have a problem, don't we?
Oh for sure, if they played the game entirely without referees Harden would be terrible, he gets fouled all the time, no one can be good getting fouled that often without getting at least some of them called.
What? College basketball refs are so much worse than the NBA. I didn't even know that was debated. They're horrific.
I think some of you guys don't actually watch a whole lot of NCAA Basketball outside of the Tournament. College refs are crap.
yeah because the most popular team won it all, right? the difference is that the nba refs go with what sells.
No such thing as great refs no matter what league. It's all subjective and based on your bias preference on whether it's good calls or not. Olympic refs call plenty of ticky tack calls and at the end of the day can be criticized just as much as NBA refs
Are you saying the NBA rigged it for the Cavs? Even so, that doesn't make college refs any less incompetent.
the trouble is the 'superstar calls'. you've always had them but even back in the 90s, the home team was respected and protected. now, they get the calls home or away.
