This Year’s March Madness Referees Have Hi-Def Instant Replay For The First Time
To help the referees get calls correct and eliminate some of the controversy and chaos, NCAA officials for both the men’s and women’s tournament will have high-definition instant replay for the first time thanks to DVSport.
Giuliano's Comment: DVSport is already known for providing professional and college teams software that allows coaches and players to use laptops to break down film of themselves or the opponent. This allows teams to study their competition to gain advantage in the game. It also allows teams to study their movements to improve on their skills. I believe this technology allows the game to be more competitive. To see who study their components better. High definition is going to grow in the sport industry to allow officals and referees to make the correct calls in the game.
I personally have mixed feelings about instant replays for referees. I think that it is a good thing to have to fix calls but then again, they didn't have it when sport first came around so why do they need them now? I can see the benefits that come from instant replay but I also feel that it takes away from the game. Often times fans are so focused on instant replays that they miss what is happening right in front of them. Part of the excitement of going to a sporting event is because it only happens once live. If the fans are focused on instant replays then they are missing out on what the game truly has to offer. For the referees on the other hand, I think it can be beneficial for them because they can correct a wrong call. As a referee you should call what you see when it happens, not what you see when you go back and watch the replay. So again, I have mixed feelings about instant replay but if they are going to have it, they definitely deserve to have it in high definition.
