I see it EVERY time a foul is called. The player in question goes up to the ref and argues and even yells about it. Never have I seen it make a difference at all. What’s the point in even doing so?

    When I played organised sport I would talk to the ref often. Although not to the detriment of my play like some of the guys in the NBA. The point is that you ask the ref for clarification on their ruling and explain your own perspective to force the ref to be consistent. Refs will never overturn a call in my experience, but they might give “makeup calls” or pay more attention the next time a situation happens.

    When done well this shouldn’t be antagonistic. Which is where guys like Tatum and Luka fuck up.
