Message: [QUOTE="Cowtown, post: 2130920, member: 2350"] Here's the issue to which you're referring. The NBA has about 75 professional officials. It's their full-time job. It's very easy to get them together regularly and develop consensus on interpretation and application of the rules. The NCAA has about 350 Div I teams, Div II about 270, and div III another 350. Then there is the NAIA, and all the junior colleges. And don't forget about all the women's basketball teams. So the NCAA has thousands of officials, all of whom are part-time and spread all over the country. I'm sure you can see the nature of the difficulty in getting them "all on the same page." :) [/QUOTE]
