Referees Call For End To Last Two Minute Reports

In a statement released Tuesday, the union of NBA referees says the NBA's release of Last Two Minute Reports to "promote so-called transparency will cause more harm than good for the officials and the game."

"Transparency does nothing to change the outcome of the game," the NBRA statement cites. "Transparency encourages anger and hostility towards NBA officials."

Adam Silver has "strongly" maintained his support to try to be transparent with the reports.

"We understand the referee union's desire to protect its members," NBA spokesman Mike Bass said in a statement. "But the fact is that in today's world, transparency is necessary for any organization. The NBA is no different and we are committed to protecting the integrity of our game."
