What the NBA (really all professional sports leagues) need, IMO, is an evaluation process of their individual officials that is in open view of the fans.
It should include accuracy of calls and non-calls across all 48 minutes + OT, breakdowns of what calls they tend to make/miss, home/away splits, and per-team breakdowns. Most important is fans should know what penalties there are for poor performances, and what incentives they receive for good performances.
Yeah, good stuff. An idea I like is Cuban's old idea of outsourcing officiating to a third party.
