I hate to say it, but I'm afraid some coaches are in on it as well. How can they not wonder if games are being rigged, if the average fan sees it? Are they in on the script? I mean they get paid a crap ton of money, and they never really, REALLY, question bad calls. Oh they will do enough to appease the fanbase for a minute, but that's it.
I swear, it's all looking more and more like professional wrestling. I think in a few years we will all look back on it and think, like our 10 year old selves realizing wrestling was fake, that it was so obvious. How did we not see it? I think we see it, but we don't want to believe it. I also think it's far worse than any of us can imagine. Even my conspiracy theory riddled rear end.
