Just can’t understand what in the world the league is going for with this stuff. Like yeah Shaq hanging on the rim to knock Chris Dudley to the floor type shit I get, but this every day enthusiasm type stuff what is the point? It slows down the game, sucks for entertainment, and for what?
The only working theory I have is that the refs are kinda like the police and police unions and not really under control by the league (really is the same energy/personality type, also similar nepotism/insularity) and the refs like to call it bc they like to flex on the players for the little power trip it gives them.
