Fox eye ref view
Should it be in HD as basketball is an easier sport to cover/ officiate than afl and rugby league?

It was awful. They should never bother with it again. I'd take the overhead shots over that. Great if you want to learn to ref. Not if you want to enjoy the game.
I have a headache from watching the camera wobble all over the place.
Credit for trying new things, but it's a no from me.

I like that they are trying to innovate, but it is a bit jarring when you're watching hd and then they cut to second rate for a different angle.
I would like to see a tennis style ref that overseas the game from a height. There is a lot to be said about getting up and above to get the bigger picture. When you go home from a game and rewatch it from the above or higher camera view we all have times we go, well I got that wrong and can see the spaces and issues on court.
following on, that does not mean the viewer needs this angle.
It looked like a gimmick!
Yeah, nice try but please put money into something else.

No wonder the Refs get a lot of calls WRONG. They can't see SH!T !!!!!!!!!
There should definitely be a video ref for contentious calls.

I thought it was great, but it should be used sparingly.

I don't understand the need to innovate. Just keep it simple, give us camera angles of the game that make viewing easy.

Sounds like I'm in the minority but I love ref view. Especially when they're interacting with coaches.
