    There wouldn’t be a need for such an idea if the damn refs would just call the game even.

    I'd prefer a fourth official.

    I would like to see especially in the playoffs, each team able to name three referees that they do not want to call their games. That would allow us to avoid Foster and Brothers. Basketball is all about rhythm and momentum and a couple of well timed bad calls by a ref can really make a difference in the outcome of a game as evidenced by game 6 and 7 against GSW.

    If the coach throws the flag into the basket, they should get an second one

    They should release full game reports for the post season, and the refs that miss the most calls should be prevented from reffing in the playoffs ever again.

    Problem solved.

    But what if the coach mistakenly throw in the towel, instead of the red flag?

    Anyway, simply fire scott foster and you have the problem half way solved.

    If it's a close call there should be a shoot out for possession like late overtime in soccer. Whoever misses first is out, as you go down your rotation of best to worst shooters.

    I think if you are going to review shot clock issues, goal tending issues, out of bounds issues then I like the idea. If you getting into judgement calls then I think it's a terrible idea...

    Scott Foster and Tony Brothers are not the best. They are either the worst or the most corrupt or both but not the best IMO.

    There needs to be rules in place though to prevent abusing it.

    For example. If I'm a coach and my team is playing defense, the clock is winding down I shouldn't be able to throw my flag in.. pausing the game in process
