Dick works hard and loves his job but his declining ability as an NBA official has been very noticeable. You can go back to some of the worst games in the last few seasons, games that were too ugly to watch for many NBA fans. You want whistles and free throws galore? Two perfect examples jump in my head right away. Lakers @ Kings from earlier this season, and a 2006 1st round playoff game between the Nuggets and Clippers. In both examples you will see Dick blowing his whistle every two seconds, trying to completely control the game.....taking the NBA's freedom of movement rules to the extreme and really showing zero understanding for the concept of "minimal contact." Without any doubt in my mind, he is top 3 bad with Corbin and Tony Brothers.
