Swirsky is not part of the problem, but part of the
solution. better not to use his name in something like
this.

As a former referree, who got kicked out of the ranks,
for filing a GAME MISCONDUCT REPORT against a fellow
referree, who absolutely degraded the game on court,
can I say that referrees are not gods, and they hold
grudges and can be bias....and even brag about it with
other referees.

They may not gamble on lower level games, but they do
have a tremendous amount of influence on the game, on
close calls, and there are numerous times they can put
in their bias FOR or AGAINST teams or players.

Refs need to clean up their act !!!!

In my case, The Game Misconduct Report was overlooked
even though by rule it was suppose to be decided
within days and although it was verified by game
particpants and a score keeper.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely and they have had
absolute power in almos all sports. And without
fairness and just calls, it disillusions players and
fans and ALL.

As for Swirsky, he's an example of someone with
enthusiasm, and as an announcer, we shouldn;t have to
hear too many complaints about the refs, as it
detracts from watching what we had hoped was a fair
contest
