I’m all for umpires getting it right.

Next let’s check out the NBA referees. Why do they never call traveling in the NBA?? Players can run and take 3 steps without dribbling the ball and the refs still don’t call traveling.

I think traveling calls went bye-bye when Michael Jordan rose to fame. Just like the in NFL, management (and television) likes offense.

The NBA decided a long time ago to adopt the city games. I’m surprised scoring isn’t based on style points awarded by a panel of judges.

C'mon man. Superstars wouldn't be superstars if they had to dribble more than once from mid-court. If they called basketball according to the rules, the final score would be 19-14. BTW, I'm a big fan of reducing the diameter of the basket 2 inches and raising it to 12 feet.
