That's as good a reason as any :)
Like I always say, whatever floats your boat.

Got a sense about whether he gets more basic fouls due to his reputation?
He seems to feel that's how it works, but I figure you might have some
numbers here. I'd hope that the NBA would start providing more detailed
stats on refs, the fouls they called, on which players and when after the
Donaghy scandal, but I think Stern has his head buried with regard to the
refs. Even if they're not corrupt, the moodiness and shaky consistency is
a big problem.

I kept track a couple of years after hus "record". It was about 1/3 at that
time I thought I could label them as Ts that likely would not have been
given to another player. The next year he cleaned up the act and IIRC had 11
or 12 for the season.
Other times he deserved Ts and did not get them.
Some times it is hard to tell, he may have been warned and what seems a
bogus T may have been a 'last straw' that game.

Do not have a link...
Joey Crawford, Nolan Fine and Violet Palmer have commandeered a corner of
the bar for a late-night
meal in a Sea-Tac hotel lobby lounge. They've got one eye on their plates of
food, one eye on the TV
screen above their heads, one ear on their conversation and one ear saved
for their cell phones.
When you're a referee, you're used to having your senses working in
different directions.
