NBA's crackdown on complaining: The real victims? ----NBA fans

Yahoo!Sports - Adrian Wojnarowski

...In an email, one veteran Eastern Conference player told me, “What’s going to happen next is that people are going to keep going with this [bleep] about how we don’t care, or don’t play hard … because we’re running around like a bunch of robots. We can’t win with this thing.”

Yes, referees should give techs to players who overreact. But now you get a technical for reacting. That’s an immense difference, and there’s no majority of NBA fans anywhere who ever demanded these changes from the league. This way, the league never has to address the putrid nature of its officiating. If players aren’t reacting to bad calls, they must not have been bad calls. San Antonio Spurs guard George Hill made a clean strip on the Los Angeles Clippers’ Eric Gordon in the final minute of a one-point game on Tuesday, got called for a foul and reacted in a natural, expressive twinge of frustration. He drew a tech, and it nearly cost the Spurs a game.

Jermaine O'neal's take on this:

“These new rules are very, very excessive,” O’Neal told Yahoo! Sports before the game. “They’re telling us the general public says we whine too much, but look at the way the NBA’s business is growing globally. I can see both sides of this. No one wants to see complaining over every call, but look at the rules. You can’t even make a hand gesture – never mind say anything.

“It’s going to be interesting to see the first two weeks of the season and how all this slows the pace.”

“With the nature of human error being involved with the officials, guys are going to react when it’s a bad call,” O’Neal said.

Stupid calls during the Celtics-Knicks preseason game last night...

Boston’s Jermaine O’Neal drew his second technical in two nights for moderately reacting to a referee’s foul call. Kevin Garnett was given a technical moments later for trying to show an official how a New York Knicks player had hit him, and was then ejected for laughing over the legitimacy of that tech.

Finally, the Knicks’ Timofey Mozgov muttered to himself in Russian, and these lost, young referees carrying out orders teed him up, too.

Sus ang mga INCOMPETENT nga NBA referees mahimo ng untouchable. Bahalag unsa ka bad call, di na ka reklamo ang players or coach. Mawala na ang excitement sa game kay mura nag robot ang mga players.

Ingon2x pa ang NBA request daw ni sa fans ang "new rule".. Asa! Wa pa gani nag-sugod ang season bulabog na kaau... lol


Union to contest officiating crackdown

The Players Association plans to contest the NBA’s efforts to curb player complaints about the league’s officiating, union executive director Billy Hunter said Thursday.

“The new unilateral rule changes are an unnecessary and unwarranted overreaction on the league’s behalf,” Hunter said in a statement. “We have not seen any increase in the level of ‘complaining’ to the officials, and we believe that players as a whole have demonstrated appropriate behavior toward the officials.

“Worse yet, to the extent the harsher treatment from the referees leads to a stifling of the players’ passion and exuberance for their work, we fear these changes may actually harm our product. The changes were made without proper consultation with the Players Association, and we intend to file an appropriate legal challenge.”

The NBA said the league’s market research shows fans want to see a decrease in the on-court complaints and demonstrations by players. The NBA has instructed the league’s referees to give players technical fouls for lingering too long to complain or making an overt gesture, including punching the air.

On Wednesday in New York, Boston Celtics center Jermaine O’Neal drew his second technical in two nights for moderately reacting to a referee’s foul call. Kevin Garnett was given a technical moments later for trying to show an official how a New York Knicks player had hit him, and was then ejected for laughing over the legitimacy of that technical.
