Did you watch the video? You want an example:To just point to a FT disparity is the cop out. Show me examples.
Otherwise, you're arguing FT numbers should largely be equal, assuming both teams were equally as aggressive as the other, and that's not true. Some teams are just better at defending without fouling than others.
-how about the last Memphis/Spurs game. Leonard was awarded 19 FTs, while the ENTIRE Memphis team was only awarded 15. That seems ok to you? Memphis is known to be one of the tougher teams in the league and just a bit ago people were hoping that the Warriors got to face the Grizzlies because of how tough they were going to play them. Now all of a sudden the Grizzlies are a jump shooting perimeter team with no physicality to their game?!?!? I don't think so.
-Iguodala slapping down on player's writs and fouling them all the time when they drive to the hoop, yet it never gets called. Why is that? Cause Iguadallalalala is just so good at smacking wrists without fouling?
-Draymond Green showboating and yelling at refs on a daily basis...why is he not called techs more often? Whereas Richard Jefferson just LOOKED at a player after dunking on him and got hit with a tech.
-Tim Donaghy. Need I say more? http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/disgraced-nba-ref-spills-beans-about
Is this enough examples for you?
I'm not saying that the "fix" is on at all times....all I'm saying is that the "fix" can be easily implemented whenever needed. The league has the ability to shift the ref's perspectives by sending them "study footage" of "things to keep an eye on" before each game.
