basketball-football

As been said, it's impossible to say which sport is the most hard to ref. But the mechanics and appearance are propably more important for a basketballref. than for any other sport.
The size of the basketball playing field (length about 28 meters) is much less than a soccer or football field. Because there isn't much space between direct offenders and defenders, with the fact they have to jump in order to make a fieldgoal and are playing very close on the target, reffing a basketballgame is a very accurate and precise profession. Maybe more than every other game where a ref is needed.
Above that, more score attempts are carried out with bball than others(as far as I know). Am I wrong? Let me know.

Dutch basketball ref.
