Agreed Mark. Calling inconsistently would still go both ways - both teams get inconsistent treatment. When people say "call it both ways," they clearly imply the floor is slanted toward one team due solely to the referees' calls. If you want to complain about inconsistency, "call it both ways" is not the phrase to use as it impugns the integrity of the calls rather than their quality.
Yes - a more accurate yell would be "be consistent", although you know they would not yell it if they felt a ref was consistently "favoring" their own team.
Once fans, coaches and players criticize "both ways", I'll give them more credibility.
