We never really pay attention to the officials until they do something that bothers us. And while some of you might not want to believe this, the stuff that bothers us, bothers them too.
I got to talk to three officials currently in the NBA’s development and training program… two of them are currently in the G League and one is a two-year NBA veteran learning to become a crew chief. I also got to talk to a current official who oversees the games and former official Monty McCutchen, who runs the program.
