Basketball Referee appeal board

**TigerCyJM** · 02-26-2013, 02:27 PM

What would you guys on here think of having a group of 5-7 referees who monitor the game and can override the floor ref's calls with a majority? Each coach could get one appeal and all fouls within 1 minute are examined. Would hopefully end the late game drama that occurs due to poor officiating.

Where would this group be located? Would they have to phone-in the review, like the NHL, or would we have to get that many more stripes at each and every game?

Either way, i suppose. Doesn't really matter as long as it doesn't take too long.

Why don't we just let fans vote.

Yes, having more idiots will solve everything.

I'll agree to this 5-7 member panel who oversees the on court calls if we can have a 7-9 member panel that oversees the overseers who oversee the on court calls.

A panel of 3 judges passing along their decisions fairly..like boxing.

I can get on board if pink ones can be used during breast cancer awareness weak. Otherwise it's a stupid idea.

There has to be some way where we can check and balance this system because once the ref makes a call, there are really no consequences for him other than being slapped on the wrist.
