Fouls happen a lot by nature in basketball, you can’t slap a guy on his arm while he’s shooting, and you can’t touch a player if you leave your feet. It’s cut and dry and they screw some shit up and let some shit go. But that’s nothing like screwing up a call in a game that gets decided by 1 point. Do you know the play I am referencing when I bring up the 2017 cup?
whatever play you are referring to im sure i was up in arms about it at the time, but i cant remember exactly.
But im just saying its fairly rare that missed calls result directly in goals, generally they are caught, or do not directly result in a goal.
I've said it before, officiating this year has been leaps and bounds worse than recent years.
And thats my point about basketball, its such soft rules that inflate the score dramatically.
Im not comparing the act of missing a call, im comparing how much effect the ref(s) have on the game,
The refs are involved in one way or another on the vast majority of plays in a basketball game, where as in hockey there are generally around 6 to 7 penalties called per game.
Yes, the refs can miss calls (obviously) and some times they lead to game changing results, but they generally do not. The footprint the refs have on an NBA game (enforcing its soft rules) is much greater than the NHL.
