Which officiating would you prefer?

[TE]

Seeing as march madness has provided it's bouts of incredibly questionable officiating, would you prefer it over NBA officiating, or would you keep NBA officiating?

Why would anyone pick FIBA?

Give a legit reason.

Give a legit reason.

Perhaps indifferent, pure basketball fans that do not particularly support any team? Good old fashion pick up ball, no harm no foul.



I'm not choosing it, perhaps a potential legitimate reason out there.

College officials are really poor. Not sure if they're susceptible to corruption, but they're amateur officials. I went with FIBA by default since neither college or NBA officials are decent.

[Blackjack]

NBA officials are clearly the best there are. It's not even close.

You want to say that's an indictment on officiating? No prob. But not-even-close . . .

[cherylsteele]

I just want consistency.

They've gotten much worse over the years, though. There is absolutely no consistency, no rhyme or reason to the calls they make anymore. Basically, if they feel like blowing a whistle, it's a foul. How else do you explain heavy contact with 2-3 players down on the court on one end with no call, and then a light bump of the point guard on the other end an immediate whistle? It just makes no sense. A "blocking foul" no longer exists by definition because of how impossibly inconsistently it's called.

^Your (Spurs) team, as much as any other (us included) have benefited grreatly from NBA Officiating.

You closed your eyes to it when you were ringin' left & right, just as we have.

You've no room.

So far, FIBA officiating kicks ass among most of you all. I can't say the same. After seeing how questionable the calls could be the past couple Olympics and International tournaments, I digress.
