Anyone want to start a WH petition for review of foul calls?

    I don't want to register with Whitehouse.gov because I don't want to be on the enemy list, but anyone care to demand a review system for foul calls. I bet we could get the 25,000 signatures needed for official review. Either give coaches some challenges, say 2 per game, or review all fouls in last 2 minutes. Probably only feasible way is a challenge system.

    I heard our Prez watches basketball.

    You can probably get enough people if you are willing to add in clipper fans for their miss foul call. Though I really hate CP3

    Exactly man. This is a serious question post in all honesty Someone draft up a petition and put it in. I would do it but I don't want to register with WH.gov.

    I'm proposing 2 challenges of foul calls per game, with unlimited challenges thereafter if you don't lose a challenge. 1 additional challenge given for OT. Every coach with half a brain in the NBA would save a challenge for end of game situations, guaranteed.

    Or maybe we could own the rights to the players bodies and deck them out with sensors so that it doesn't take another stoppage in play.

    Until that day I will note vote for any more stoppages or else I will just watch American football instead.

    How can you want this game to stop more than it does? 6 Time Outs is already one too many.

    I vote that Les Alexander pays off the refs so that we can go 82-0 then 4-4-4-4 in every playoff series till I die...

    Don't worry about it -- the NSA recorded is recording this thread and now has their eye on you anyway.

    Yes. The only thing more reliable than NBA referees are our countries popularly elected politicians. That should help.

    Reviews already slow down the game more than enough as is. Anything more would be overkill. Bad judgement calls are bound to happen, there's no need to ruin the game by creating unnecessary delays throughout.
