I would only contest his point that officials decide games all the time. Officials make decisions that impact games all the time, as do players and coaches. Players primarily decide games, officials rarely. But the quality of their decisionmaking impacts how games are played.
By the way, Rick Majerus was on Dan Patrick's radio show yesterday and was asked about players adjusting to refs calls versus refs calls adjusting to how players are playing a game. He was very even handed, complemented how officials call games, and said that refs usually do adjust to how a game is played (and he felt that they should). But he also pointed out that not all refs will adjust the same (and not all adjusting is the same from game to game), and that players need to adjust to how a game is being called.
