thats the problem in the nba. and i'm not clear wether you want boom mics to cover the whole ice or individual microphones on each or some players, but the athletes become a different person when they know they can be heard. There was some rookie who wanted nothing to do with a vet who was giving him advice because he didnt want to be heard. and theres no way in hell Kobe would have gone on to wish everyone on the court a merry christmas if he wasn't mic'ed
That being said i think the refs being mic'ed might be cool and possibly unaffecting them or the players
