It will be interesting to see if McGeough makes the cut this year.<BR/><BR/>I don't know whether officials are paid by the game/series for the playoffs or if they really care about working those games.

Nothing like a little public humiliation in the morning.<BR/><BR/>On a more serious note, I think a middle ground carrot and stick approach is likely more important for the refs, the sport and the league.

And I'm not sure it would really change anything if they did. The refs in the NFL still blow calls despite the fact that the league is very quick to publicly shame them when they do so.
