re: Slow down! Refs want to hit pause on up-tempo play

As long as it's corrected it won't be a huge issue. Officials were passing the ball to another official from the sideline to spot a ball, helping HUNH teams. That was wrong. Just get it corrected and lets play ball.

I imagine the officials will come to a consensus in an attempt to regulate/set the pace of play for every game regardless of who is screaming like a fool at them to hurry up or who is screaming like a fool at them to slow it down. Establishing a reasonable pace of play and not allowing either unit to dictate the speed of a game should be the ultimate goal. Run the damn pace the same every game, get a set of procedures for getting the ball to the official the same way for every game. And don't succumb to a screaming/yelling coach or player trying to rush you to do your job.
