Following an unexpected meeting in New York yesterday headlined by NBA commissioner David Stern and Lamell McMorris of the NBA's referees' union, it appears a tentative labor agreement "in principal" has been reached, with a vote scheduled Friday. Given that Opening Night is just a week away, and veteran officials were facing joblessness during a rough national economy, the timing for resolution couldn't be more appropriate. With paychecks (and the holidays) right around the corner, those wearing the stripes will once again be able to swallow more than just their whistles.
