    What is going on with the ref Derrick Stafford? It seems like he's been involved in *tons* of various disputes this year... he's the Ron Artest of the reffing community.

    Here are a few select articles:

    And from a later report...

    And now the newest...

    This guy's outta control! Wonder if anyone keeps track of number of technicals/ejections given...

    NBA officiating overall is very bad, imo. Not because they don't call every foul that is a foul and miss some blatant calls. That does happen occasionally. They just aren't very consistent, imo. A game shoudl be called the same way at both ends of the court. This often does not happen.

    One of the main problems is that the refs are in a different position depending on what side of hte court their on. The baseline ref becomes the guy up top and vice versa. This makes it very hard to get fair treatment.
