"We have not seen any increase in the level of 'complaining' to the officials and we believe that players as a whole have demonstrated appropriate behavior toward the officials," Hunter said. "Worse yet, to the extent the harsher treatment from the referees leads to a stifling of the players' passion and exuberance for their work, we fear these changes may actually harm our product."
I'm sorry, this isn't exactly Kings related, but something I have noticed from our players. Is anyone else as tired as I am of complaining to the Refs in the NBA? Especially from NBA 'Stars'?
