Over the summer, The National Basketball Referees Association asked the NBA to stop releasing its Last Two Minute Reports<\/a>.\u00a0The Last Two-Minute Reports which tell everyone accurate and inaccurate calls and non-calls in all games within five points in the final two minutes of regulation and during overtime. The fact that the NBA tried out at all is surprising.<\/p>\n

I bring this up for 2 reasons. First, as we all know, nothing will change retroactively, and I think the playoffs have shown that the refs aren’t exactly improving because of it. We don’t need a report to tell us a call was wrong (most of the time the 6-10 angles and slow-mo replays tell us that) and most of the calls they review are either innocuous or things that are never called (travels, illegal screens) anyway.<\/p>\n

Second, I am a firm believer that a foul call in the first quarter can have just as much of an impact as a foul call in the final minute. So rather than do a L2M report of every little thing (we don’t need a report telling us that an intentional foul to stop the clock was a foul), why not do a report of just the controversial or borderline calls in a game? 95-98% of the average game is not controversial<\/a>, so just break down the remaining calls and non-calls and let us know if they were right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
