As I think back over the 40+ games I've officiated so far this season, I can honestly say that most of the time it was the team that was the most aggressive that committed the most fouls - more often than not it was also the most aggressive team that won. The exceptions were teams that had very poor skills or were making numerous stupid fouls out of frustration.
I've been either playing, coaching or officiating basketball for over 40 years, and in all that time I can't recall seeing even one game with deliberate bias by the officials such as you allude to. Poor officiating, yes, but deliberate bias - never.
