Worst Ref

[BwareDWare94]

Name your least favorite or who, in your opinion, is most horrible at his job.

My vote goes to Joey Crawford. No explanation needed.

Eli Roe is pretty bad too.

Joey is easily the worst. After the stunt he pulled on Duncan a few years ago should have been the end of him. That was true colors showing. He also fucked the Suns pretty good around that same time.

Stern has been a prophet keeping the NBA what it is to this day in terms of marketing through a bad economy that is now better, but on a social economic standpoint he is a disaster.

NBA refs should be fired and there should instead be a coalition of officiating crews developed. Having the same shit buckets year in and out with a handful of additions every couple years is ignorant.

Kind of like the NCAA lets conferences govern their own refs in basketball and football. Especially SEC football refs who favor a specific school whether it be a popular school or not they always officiate in favor of that stature or popular demand. When the NCAA should have its own refs that are not specific to one conference eliminating the bias affect displayed every year.

It'll never be fixed though. Pros or college.

MINNEAPOLIS -- An NBA referee has sued The Associated Press and one of its sports writers over a Twitter message suggesting he intentionally made a bad call to make up for a previous bad call that went against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In a federal lawsuit filed Monday in Minneapolis, veteran NBA referee William Spooner claimed AP sports writer Jon Krawczynski defamed him in the Twitter message, sent while he was covering the Jan. 24 Rockets-Timberwolves game.

In the second period, Spooner called a foul against a Timberwolves player. According to Spooner's lawsuit, Wolves coach Kurt Rambis argued the call and Spooner told him he would review it at halftime.

Rambis said that was fine, but asked how he was supposed to get the points back, according to the lawsuit.

Spooner says in the lawsuit that he didn't respond to Rambis. But Krawczynski, seated courtside, posted a tweet that said, "Ref Bill Spooner told Rambis he'd 'get it back' after a bad call. Then he made an even worse call on Rockets. That's NBA officiating folks."

Yeah Crawford is terrible. So is that Arab guy, he just blows his whistle to hear the noise it makes and than makes some random call.
