And I think we'll be able to do a better job sort of discerning whether there's some kind of embellishment going on. So if the standard is perfection, we've got a long ways to go. But I think we've made improvements there.

it's interesting to say that like number one we did you know a couple years ago we changed the format at the end of the game we reduced the number of timeouts and we reduced the ability for officials to go to discretionary reviews i mean you recall just a few years ago virtually every play towards the last two minutes you know the players were going like this you know so we added one more coaches challenge

But we reduced those discretionary views. And I think that's made a big difference. And to your point, I've had many players and coaches tell me over the years that they would prefer speed to accuracy in certain cases, because especially near the end of the game, when... There's those long reviews. Guys are literally getting cold standing there, getting out of rhythm.

And they just assume, say, all right, red ball and move forward and move on, as opposed to waiting for the endless reviews. And as I said, I think back to the technology that some people also don't like that we might have a different standard in the last two minutes. But look, when you have...

A game like basketball where there's a lot of scoring, even if there's a bad call in the second quarter, you can make up for it over the course of the game. But you can't necessarily in the last two minutes. So I'm in favor of there potentially being more scrutiny.

But as I was saying, if you can use technology and take a whole category of calls off the table and that they're now objective, I think we can reduce the number of replays. Because also in those calls, just like in tennis, you'll see sort of the quick animation. I think you need transparency. People don't want to just be told. you know, bull's ball. They want to know what happened.

And just like in Tennessee, ding, ding, ding, ding, you'll see like some animation, you'll see what's going on. But then and also if you think back like some early days in tennis, there was a lot more arguing, you know, with the officials. And now once you see that animation, you know, and there's an ooh and an ah from the fans that just barely touch the line or whatever else.
