Just watched the game with a guy who was at the NBA ref camp in 1999 or so with Jerry Crawford of the NBA. In fact this guy spoke with Rex at the bookstore a couple of weeks ago and told him about a sophmore kid playing on the peninsula. His assessment in watching 1 plus minutes of the tape was that the referees are over exagerating what they are suppose to be doing running down the court excessively hard is fake hustle. He noted that the refs were moving all the time when the ball moved and that was improper only do to get a better angle. He explained where you were suppose to be. We then went and watched NBA refs and when they got in proper position they would tilt their head or take one or two steps to get closer or to get out of the way of blocked vision. They were not moving every time the ball moved. Moving every time the ball moves means your head is moving and you are not stable to make the call. All three guys tonight were horrible. Apparently, Libby went to a Crawford NBA camp finally within the last two years.
