I believe this type of scenario is also commented on in Papa C's 51 ways to ruin a baseball game.
There are infractions of rules and there are Infractions of rules if you get my gist.

Pete, I don't at all disagree with you. As with any decision made in a contest, wether during or at the end of the contest, good judgement should be used. Especially by an experienced official such as those in the NBA.
Sometimes the "right call", is, no call at all. However, to be able to discern when that time is, is definitely important and a trait that not all officials poesess. Even in the NBA.
