Panel needed, more than one person with equal power. 3 to make decisions would be ideal in my opinion.

This is freakin lame.

Even more impressive, he's a two-star general.
Army Maj. Gen. Ronald L. Johnson

Yeah I read that, here's the quote that gets me:

"Although I don't have a basketball background, other than as a lifelong fan, I am confident that my experience as an Army commander and engineer has equipped me to bring leadership and innovation to the NBA's exceptional officiating program."

???????

Engineer of what????

Can I be your assistant Mr. Army Major???

I too have been a lifelong fan (obviously the qualifying statement) of basketball.
