I do not doubt that if you say the rule is applied in a different manner than a literal reading would suggest, you as officials are likely right.
My point is that fans (remember the people who pay for the players to play and officals to officiate?), if they do not see the rules applied as written, can believe that things are unfair when maybe they are not.

OK, you've gone from asserting the refs were incompetent
and biased as a *statement of truth* to saying it's
just your perception, a perception based on ignorance &
misunderstanding. BTW, I would not be so certain using
media people as "experts testimony", they are often as
confused as the average fan.
Bottom line, I respect your right to have an opinion, and
it's good that you understand that your opinion is a
mostly uninformed one. And that holds whether you own
courtside NBA season tickets or never paid to see a game
ever.
