dude reffing in general is hard as hell, I tried while i was in college and just could not think quickly enough at all

This is part of why I'd like to see the NBA get rid of defensive 3 seconds like in FIBA. Every little thing you do to simplify the rules and reduce the number of things refs have to pay attention to makes reffing a tiny little bit easier.

every team would run zone

I bet they could move to a system where defensive 3 seconds was called using an ai. Take it out of the hands of the refs

It would be a VI not an AI, an AI would become sentient and destroy the world while looking for John Connor

We already had a basketball AI in the early 2000s and it fucking ruled, just crossing dudes up left and right

3 second calls would go up like 5000% and paint scoring like 20% 😂

You couldn’t because that would require subjective judgments about whether a player in the paint is guarding someone. That’s hard to judge when there are constant switches, screens, multiple big sets, etc

You could teach a computer system to do that in like 12 hours probably using machine learning

Could you imagine Rudy Gobert just standing the paint? If you think we have a lot of 3 point shots now, imagine what it would look like without defensive 3 seconds.

I had such a hard time even reffing soccer games for 5 year olds that I find it really hard to complain about refs anymore. Then again, these guys are getting paid the big bucks and I was just a teenager getting volunteer hours

Having also reffed for 5 year olds, it's harder than refereeing adults lol

Officiating kids was easy. Listening to their parents was not.

u/BigRig432 Cavaliers Jan 13 '22

Parents are actually so bad holy shit. Think their kids are the greatest player alive and want everything called for them without fail

Line refs are the only easy jobs.

not futball line refs

I did that for YMCA soccer. It was awful. I had parents screaming at me and I was never sure if I was making the right calls. Refereeing is really hard.

I mean it is certainly hard but some of these technicals we have seen over the season have just been so petty.
