I agree with Tim C in this one. Being very good on the bases is tougher than officiating basketball. There are so many plays in a basketball game that if you "pass" on a foul or violation, most people forget about it and the game goes on without anyone saying anything in a relatively short time. You screw something up on the bases and all hell breaks loose. I feel like their is an attitude in basketball that things tend to even out over the course of games and seasons, where in baseball every call is magnified because there are so few truly close calls.
