Glen Johnson is the problem.

Glen Johnson doesn't make the rules. He is also not the one who decides how the rules are to be enforced.
Refs get their weekly feedback from him on how to apply the rules.

The Rules Committee and BoG tell Johnson how they want the rules interpreted. It's not his or the officials' fault if they do that and penalties go up. Johnson cannot change the way they are to be interpreted unilaterally.

Actually yes he can because day to day throughout the season, he's the authority.

He isn't going to unilaterally decide to overturn rule changes that the BOG implemented 4 weeks into the season.  That is over stepping his authority.

I don't think anyone is saying that...he is charged with getting the refs to enforce the existing rules properly

I know but interpretations can be quite "flexible".

The rule changes were a big off season push from the league.  Glenn Johnson isn't going to decide on his own that they should be applied more "flexible" unless the commissioner directs him to.

 

He is doing what he was told to.  And he isn't the one that can "decide" to change it.

I know he didn't decide to change the rules. He's in charge of implementing the new rules and instructing the refs.

He instructs the officials to call the new rules the way he was told they should be called.

I know, but he's not a robot either. He puts his slant and can emphasize certain things. Glen Johnson has considerable influence on how games are officiated.
