You are wrong here, the NBA officials are the most scrutinized officials in all of professional sports. They are held more accountable than any sport for their calls.
I have to disagree with you. EVERY play in EVERY game and EVERY call that EVERY NFL official makes is scrutinized. EVERY crew receives reviews of their calls from the league office EVERY week. They meet EVERY Friday night and Satuyrday to discuss the previous week's game, review the tape and the league reviews. Also, the head of NFL Officiating appears on NFL TV EVERY week and explains calls that were made the previous week, even so far as to say if a call was wrong. Finally, it's not unusual for 3-5 NFL officials to be released after EVERY season.

Easily the most scrutinized of all professiaonl officials.
