But I can personally tell you that more people lose opportunities because they call things that despite their good intentions are not widely accepted and lose opportunities as a result of "making stuff up" because the individual thinks they are doing the right thing. Standing next to someone is not illegal. And we should not be making calls because a player is frustrated by a legal act. That is not very good officiating in my opinion.

Agree. The worst thing you can you is try to apply your own personal dislikes and bias towards situations that arise during a game. Just because you personally don't like what's happening doesn't make it illegal. We all run into players and coaches that just grate on our nerves, personality-wise, but we have to treat them exactly the same as everybody else.
