When Mark Cuban once snarked that he wouldn't hire the director of NBA officiating to manage a Dairy Queen, the folks at DQ memorably took offense and challenged Marky Boy to put up or shut up, which he humorously did. Here's the thing: the NBA would find a way to royally screw up a Dairy Queen. An NBA ref would call three seconds on the M&M toppings of a blizzard.
When the coach of the winning team is publicly pointing out to the officials that they've blown a call at the most critical moment of a championship series game, and pretty doing it for no particular reason other than a feeling of, "Hey, somebody should point out that we've got rules", you have a problem. I wouldn't want David Stern's lackies handling my laundry, much less my basketball team's fate.
