[QUOTE="Ransom Stoddard, post: 1238686, member: 10336"] It's a double-edged sword. The technology exists to judge a play in very slow or still motion from multiple angles, and to do it reasonably quickly. If there's a close play, players, coaches, and fans of the team on the wrong end of the original call demand a replay, so we get a lot of replays. I guess if the refs were better, and more consistent, and less biased (table for Valentine) it would be less of an issue, but human nature is to argue with a call that didn't go our way. In 10 years or less, I think there's going to be sensors in the ball, and all over the field of play, that will be able to make real time calls in a lot of scenarios (think goal-tending, shot clock violations, OOB in tennis & soccer, offsides/icing etc. in hockey). That could allow officials to focus on the players more. [/QUOTE]
