I thought this was an interesting read...


Q&A with Ronnie Nunn, NBA Director of Officials

here's the biggest line of horse hockey in the article.

"I can tell you today that there is no such thing as a make-up call.

I ain't saying I'd be better at it, or that the refs are horrible..but to say that there aren't makeup calls is just a slap in the face of all fans of NBA basketball.

Two words: Jake O'Donnell.

If memory serves, he eventually admitted to having a grudge against Buck and Clyde. Also, I recall either the league or officials saying that they did indeed protect the stars, because that's who the fans want to see.

I liked the article, but there is no doubt that there is preferential treatment for some players/teams. No doubt.
