attribution theory
Attribution theory: the imparting of characteristics to a person just because they are in a certain position [of authority] despite the fact that said person does not possess those attributes.
I have had so-called "state level officials" tell me in a close game: "let's not foul out A1 because that is the best player on their team"
To which I respond: "if A1 fouls their self out, then that's what they do"
*Maybe this is why I have not been selected to officiate state tournaments?
