just as many have pointed out one official's call will not win or lose a game but to say they have no effect on the outcome is not true. If officials had had no part in the game there would not be a need for them but they are. Thier job is to administer the game and help keep it fair for all parties involved. The other thing you see in replies to this post is when officals are critisized some have a tendency to move directly into a defensive "what about you mode" which is unfortuate. The official that cannot admit a mistake or realize thier errors and improve off of them or the the ones who get an "attitude" when questioned about a call are the ones that aggrivate the most and give the population at large a black eye. I know I really dislike working with some guys in my area becasue they have this tendency.
