Don't know if you are a basketball fan but I am. The only time the NY Knicks beat the Chicago Bulls in a series was when Michael Jordan did not play and it took a call from "Hugh Hollins" to do it. To this day, that call is classified as one of the worst calls ever made in playoff History.
Why Because most Referees allow the players to play. This is the way is has been since the beginning of time.

Well, I'm a basketball referee and you've got the wrong take on this one. That NBA call was a "bad" call because there was
NO foul on the play, not because Hollins made the "right" call at the "wrong" time. The contact on that play occured
after the ball was released on the shot, and therefore
no real foul was actually committed. That was what made it the wrong call. The only way that you could relate that call to the balk call being discussed was if the balk call was a phantom call also. Iow, that NBA call had absolutely nothing to do with letting the players play. If the contact on the foul call by Hollins hadda legitimately affected the shot, it woulda been a good call and you woulda never heard any complaints about it.
Apples and oranges.
