‘I was the same way’: Kings’ Randolph helps young teammates understand NBA officiating | The Sacramento Bee

Zach Randolph is a King for moments like last Monday in Oklahoma City.

Kings players and coaches met with NBA senior vice president and Head of Referee Operations Monty McCutchen; vice president of referee training and development, senior vice president and Head of Referee Operation Michelle Johnson; and associate vice president of basketball operations Shareef Abdur-Rahim.

The topic would be Respect For The Game rules, rules interpretations, on-court conduct and the expectations of NBA referees.

It's the kind of setting in which a lot of young players might not know what to say, or how to bring up their grievances.
