whoever's, you know, I think there's 100 fingers on the floor at any given time, various body parts, you know, to instantaneously show who the ball went out on, you know, if somebody's foot was on the line, anything that can be objectively determined, goaltending, et cetera. And I think that will allow, so one, there'll be a whole category of calls that will be objectively right or wrong.

And I think that will allow, so one, there'll be a whole category of calls that will be objectively right or wrong.

And we'll speed up the game from that standpoint. But just as importantly, for those more subjective calls, the officials won't have to both be looking at somebody's feet to see if they touch the line and their hands at the same time. They can really focus on what is truly subjective.

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.
