I definately agree that basketball is very different, especially from soccer.

In soccer, there are (generally) less fans, they're all outside (often in cold weather), and often on the other side of the field from the scorer's table/team area.

In basketball, however, everyone is enclosed, things get loud and hot and sweaty, and there is usually only one way for the refs to get to their locker room - one exit can be easily blocked.

Basketball can get so bad that I've had games as a timer where I have wanted to leave immediately after the buzzer . . .
