Made the game tighter and pleased the home fans to some degree, I'm sure.
The fickle nature of officiating really makes things unpredictable at the NBA and collegiate levels. | |

| The lack of consistancy in what is and isn't a foul does get on my nerves, I just disagree with you on how the refs apply their calls to to both teams. | |

| I think you have to agree that basketball has to be the hardest major sport to officiate.

| There are other aspects of other sports that can be tough to call. Football has them, but holding isn't really one IMO. There's a pretty clear definition of what holding is and when to call it. It's not that it's hard to call, it's more that it just doesn't get called.
But I believe basketball is much, much harder to call than any other sport, because 90% of the fouls are contact-based, pretty much all of which have a lot of gray area, not to mention other factors like ball control, exact timing and flopping.
