2021-2022 AROUND the NBA: GSW Champs [ARCHIVED]

I just wish I knew if the league was sanctioning Brothers somehow. If they overturned his call then they should DO SOMETHING to him for calling it in the first place.

I think the embarrassment that comes from the league making it public they don't agree with his call is enough with the current system in place.

Of course I think refs would call the game much differently if they were held accountable for egregious miscalls, but you never want a ref AFRAID to make a call for fear of consequences. There should be a retraining for refs to be more like FIBA refs. Let contact go more and play with the idea in mind that every player is trying to flop so never call unless you're absolutely sure. 

I also think another good system would be to have each team choose their refs before the game. Or a rankling system where the league gives a list of available refs before a game and each team submits who they want in terms of preference. Where it overlaps decides who refs. Of course that's a little unrealistic factoring travel and the amount of current available refs, but those are easy to fix by just hiring more (better) refs. 

It's a fine line. I don't think this case comes anywhere close to that fine line though, and it was clear that Brothers abused his power (for the billionth time). 

Also did anyone see this? This how Tony Brothers approaches his job and to me should make him automatically disqualified because his ego is too great:

Start at 4:28 to hear the quote! The guy thinks he is the judge, jury, and executioner and looking at how he refs games with that mindset it all starts to make sense.
