I think you're wrong here. If these are close calls we're talking about, which you said earlier they are, I doubt an official is going to get suspended or not assigned more games for the simple fact that they called one close play one way and another another way. I doubt any assigner is going to look at that and say, you know, that's a rotten official treating one team unfairly.

I do agree that we need to be consistent in determining what is and what is not a foul, and hopefully we would be consistent throughout a game. But I don't think that close calls going one way or the other is going to get you in too much trouble.
