Officiating basketball is not cutting grass. Should a police officer ticket every single driver that...
...goes 1 mile over the speed limit?
...changes lanes without giving a signal?
...had his license plate expire 2 days ago?
You do not want to go to a game where every single infraction of the rules is called. For example, by rule, every time a coach complains about a call, we are suppose to give him a technical foul. Is that what you think we should do? We make calls based on advantage-disadvantage, not based on which team we like or which team we want to win. We couldn't care less who wins.
Call "everything?" No. No basketball game has ever been called that way and never will be.
