Well when you said "they say" I thought you meant "they" and not "I"....but I guess if you actually believe that then you really don't understand officiating.


"They say that you know a game is well-officiated when you seemingly don't even notice the refs are there."

That is just wrong. Many times the officials must take actions which will make them be noticed. That thought is just a myth spread by fanboys.

"The game has a certain rhythm to it, and the refs are part of that rhythm. If the rhythm is disrupted, that's when people start complaining about the officiating."

I'm not even sure what the rhythm of a game even means. But I think you are talking about officials sounding their whistles many times and stopping play. Some games have lots of fouls and/or violations; in order for the game to be officiated properly the officials will have to break the rhythm many times.

Stop worrying about noticing officials. Many times they will have to do things which will make them be noticed. Stop worrying about rhythm of the game. If there is a foul then call it. If there is a violation then call it.
