This is something I always seem to talk about in my pre-game when I am the Referee. The play is more important than the last second shot. If there is a foul that is missed because we want to leave one officials with 8 players, that is going to be much worse than if the shot got off. I do not know about you, but I do not get too many plays near the end of the quarter where the last second shot is the deciding factor in any game. I would rather have two officials watching the entire play, then have one official guess or an official out of position guess on something that could have been called.

You would think others cannot do those two things without falling over themeselves.
