#2 Refereeing blunders

Houston Rockets v Detroit Pistons
Even the referees are human and thus fallible

Refereeing errors at crucial championship junctures should be unacceptable at this date and age.

The obnoxious rule of checking the replay in case of conflict of opinions only during the last two minutes of the last quarter is something that continues to baffle me.

When the world of sports has adjusted and accommodated video reviews to minimize the manual errors, it is high time that the NBA brings such a process to be available throughout the game as well.

A game full of missed calls, undeserving no calls and wrong out of bound calls have almost made some plays and some games dependent on luck. Something that the NBA can learn from the FIFA in this regard.

An overhaul of the entire refereeing system needs to be in place. Even if it is something on the lines of a permanent television referee giving calls on each and every play which could be used in a case of conflict, throughout the forty-eight minutes, not just during the fag end of fourth quarters.

It would save time, take human errors out of the equation and keep the stoppage short.
