Why? Do you not recognize that your team may be superior of the other team, or that the other team has been coached incorrectly? You should be not happy if the game is inconsistenly called, but statistically speaking, you will be involved in games with lopsided foul counts. Either play better defense or expect the other team to play better defense. Good teams adapt.

What do you think of an official that always knows the status of the arrow? If they correct, and perhaps even overrule the visible arrow, does it mean that they are calling a held ball differently from occurance to occurance? It's about preventing mistakes.
