And most coaches are okay with it because the calls are then predictable and consistent. They don't want a guy who just comes out and reacts. And neither do the leagues. Especially the NBA. A friend who reffed university level basketball went to an NBA identification camp. They were all told in the first meeting on the first day that the league is in the entertainment business, and if you don't understand what that means "you should just go home right now." Seriously, this is bigger than the Tim Donaghy incident. He was fixing games on his own to line his own pocket. Peel was "managing games" because he'd been taught to do it, and had been doing so for a long time, and he's hardly the only one doing it. [/QUOTE]
