It has recently been announced that NBA refs will be held more accountable by disclosing how they perform late in games if those games are close.
The thought behind this is to start eliminating the conspiracy theories that are out there concerning the NBA, especially in the playoffs. There is more conspiracy theories in the NBA than any other sport. There does seem to be a sense that the league does have an agenda when it comes to the playoffs like extending series or making sure the right teams are in the finals.
Dave isn't sure that tat is true. He states that people notice when it appears that has been done, but the don't notice the many times that it cold have been done but wasn't. Dave also feels that if there were conspiracies that it really wouldn't happen at the end of the game when people would notice it more. It would happen in the 2nd quarter when no one is expecting it. Makes sense huh?
Now the NBA will be judging referees on how they perform in the late stages of close games and they will make these findings public.
