I agree with everyone here.

But also remember that he didn't give away the game. Remember that your job is "to see that the team that plays better during that game, wins". If the score is tied with 1.3 seconds to go, it's pretty much a toss-up. The team that lost, lost because of the missed free-throws, the stupid fouls, the errant passes, and the ill-advised shots, not because of a call or two at the end of the game.

That doesn't mean that you shouldn't be concerned about your friend, or shouldn't say anything. It just means that you can't really accuse him of giving away the game, unless you suspect that he made those calls deliberately to favor one team. And if you suspect that, you've got a much bigger problem to deal with than an incompetent block/charge decision.
