Lightbulb And the winner is.

This is not even close. Basketball by far. Unless I work the plate during a baseball game it is much more difficult to be a basketball official. In baseball games you do not even have to call anything. A routine play at first you only have to make a signal. If a basketball player makes a quick move everyone might think he traveled or double dribbled. Of course in baseball one call might be magnified. So much of the game of baseball an umpire has nothing to do with. You do not field the ball. You do not hit the ball. If a pitcher throws a fat pitch over the plate and the hitter takes it out of the park, you played no role in that play. If a guard goes to the basket and there is contact you determine if he was fouled or not. You will put them on the line if you think they fouled. If you ask me the comparisons are not even close.
