NBA players have a union hotline to complain about officials

But perhaps Durant and his teammates can take solace in the fact that next season, thanks to the union, players can criticize blown calls or an official via a new NPBA hotline and a monthly report that will be sent to the league.

Additionally, the players for the first time will have a hotline to the union to call in to critique the work of refs in their games.

The hotline is a response to the league allowing the new monthly reviews so that players can report something they thought was handled incorrectly while it’s still fresh in their minds.

If an official actually holds a grudge against a certain player and that player keeps complaining to the NPBA, the union can alert the league and they could likely look into it.
