A real sleeze ball
I take it you don't watch NBA. Like our issues, NBA refs literally think they are the show. A player got a T the other day for bouncing the ball to the official. They are completely fucking up the game just like FVV said.
I DON'T watch much NBA, but I've seen clips on Twitter and other places...Jason is 100% correct. Absolutely HATE when basketball officials and umpires think THEY have to make themselves a part of the show.
The ones that really boil my blood is when a player gets frustrated and bounces the ball and gets T'd up. Players have emotions and that is what makes people invest. There is no need to serve up a tech unless they spike the ball into the stands or something egregious.

How do you rescind a technical foul if points are awarded?
It's akin to an attaboy!
I believe when techs add up the player will eventually get suspended. It’s basically taken off his record. Not sure what the threshold is.
The NBA is trash. I can't believe people actually sit around and waste their time and money watching that garbage. Personally I'd rather go watch a high school game.
I haven't watched an NBA game in years.

You watched NBA ball all year long with the Sycamores. It's the same thing but with even more skilled athletes. So if you think that's trash, ergo you believe Sycamore hoops is trash. Congrats.
I know it's baseball, but.....
Unbiased arbiter...some of these guys are outta control.

Yeah, saw that this morning. Looks, if you can't remain composed as the ump, you just need to find another profession -- usher, hot dog vendor, scoreboard operator... that was so bad that it can't even be up for debate/interpretation.
The NBA has a bunch of whiny overpaid bums that don't care about anything other than themselves. A lot of the star players these days sit out a bunch of games and then demand trades because they're too soft to try to earn a ring the hard way. The whole league is pathetic.
Someone on Twitter did the math on Van Fleet.....he's 573% more likely to receive a technical when this guy Taylor is officiating.

I'm sorry, I know the call was horse crap but that's hilariously insane.
Don’t agree that NBA players are more skilled, just more genetically superior. Might be taller, stronger, quicker, etc but I see better fundamentals and basic skills in high school and college games.
NBA was, is and always will be a “get mine” first type of game. For some people they like to watch individual athletes and their abilities. For others they like to watch team basketball and sharing the ball.
To each his own.
You have a split second to make a decision in the NBA due to the size, length and speed. I've watched videos of their bums doing shooting drills and never missing. So to shoot 45% from 3 over length is infinitely more skilled than anything we've got in the college game. I also don't watch a ton of NBA ball -- probably a game or two per week. While there are definitely a lot of "get mine" type of teams and players (my fucking Bulls are a chore to watch -- fuck LaVine and Billy Donovan's offense), there are multiple teams that will make extra pass after extra pass to get the best shot. The Warriors, the Nuggets, the Mavs... hell, even the Pacers now with Hailburton and the usually lowly Kings all move the ball. So if you want to watch team basketball, you can find it when those teams are playing.
In any event, our offense is filled with NBA concepts and movements so my original post stands.

The Wade Level
My problem with the NBA when I last watched it (5 or 6 yrs ago) was the excess travelling and palming and fouls not being called on the star players. Even now in college it's rare to see travelling and palming called.
