I think one of the biggest problem is we are too concerned with consistency from one night to another. It is easy for the NBA as an example to have all the consistency when they only have 50 or so officials to work with (I do not know the actual staff number so do not sue me). When you are dealing with thousands like in my state, all I can do is do what I feel is right. Coaches know that some officials are going to have a stick up their behind about certain rules and other officials will just turn the other cheek. We worry too much about what some guy you have never met did as opposed to just doing what your training and your experience has told you to do.
