Don't we, as officials, have a responsibility to call the tightest game that our abilities permit in an unbiased fashion? I readily accept that a large part of our calls are based on judgment and I will certainly admit that mine judgment is not as solid as others with more experience than I, but to say the outcome of a game wouldn't change and use that thinking to justify a no-call is simply a dis-service to the game of basketball.
Maybe I'm reading more into the post than what was meant to be, but I dunno...

No, I just think that sometimes you should trust the people that are responsible to making the call. There maybe other factors that cause the no-call. Like, I just didn't hear it. Friday I had a girls game that was a 30 point blow-out. Late in the game both teams empty there benches and my judgment for fouls in the game changed. I let some contact fouls go because he was time to go home. Neither teams coaches, players or fans said a word. It was obvious unless blood was drawn (figure of speech) there wasn't going to be anymore calls. My point is, as long as everyone's okay with it, you get it over with and you go home. If you are the type that feels like you are not earning your money or doing a disservice to the profession unless you call everything you see, then call it. Just don't be surprise if not everyones see it that way.
