My argument to that has always been that that's a bad approach to take. If there are refs and umps, they're there for a reason. And they're there for the whole game.



I think when the game's on the line, they should let the teams play. That doesn't mean they should be allowed to maul each other, but having ticky-tack fouls decide championship games is ridiculous.

What if your team's got the lead in the bottom of the 9th and Eric Gagne's your closer. You want the Ump to stop calling strikes, letting it go down only to swings? That's wrong. And you know it.



I don't think that's a fitting analogy. Baseball is set-up a lot differently than basketball.
