After several high-profile officiating errors, players and fans have questioned if NBA officials are ever disciplined for egregiously missed call. According to NBA commissioner Adam Silver, officials are disciplined, but that discipline is not made public.
“We don’t publicize discipline for officials. We don’t think that will be appropriate,” Silver said Friday in an interview with ESPN’s Sage Steele on SportsCenter. “But their assignments are affected by the quality of their calls, whether or not they progress into the playoffs and then round by round is impacted by the accuracy of their calls and their demeanor on the floor. So there is a system for overseeing and making those judgements about officials. But more to your earlier point about getting the calls right, that’s again not a new issue.”
Silver said the NBA will continue to look at how they can improve officiating. On the subject of missed calls, he said the league would look at a mechanism for officials to correct a missed call, but that there is only so much that can be done. This answer was in reference to officials missing LeBron James being fouled at the end of a recent game against the Boston Celtics.
“But so what’s the beginning and the end of the play? And if indeed the officials missed the foul but then the other team is saying, well, go back 15 seconds, they missed something else there, it’s not an easy issue, but it’s something we’re going to look at because my personal view is I don’t mind the challenge system but also think the ultimate goal is to get it right, not put the pressure on the coach in terms of that additional tactic on using their challenge appropriately.”
