I don't really know what the relationship is like between the officials and the league, but it seems like it's strained to begin with if they are making threats before anything has been done.
Do the officials think they haven't made mistakes before? If they really want to do a work to rule campaign (I'm not even sure what that would mean for them?) I would have no problem with the league playing hard ball with them. Maybe it's time the league starts punishing officials for when they call a bad game?
