Celtics game).
Your next point seemed to be about being held accountable. As you've been told, officials in the NBA are held accountable...it's just the NBA doesn't feel the need to publicize this, in general. No amount of amateurs and uneducated public making websites tracking this and that and giving calls their own grades, though having no training in how to calls games at the professional level is going to change that.

Generally we know how NBA officials are graded. We didn't see Olandis Poole, Eli Roe or Tommy Nunez Jr. make the NBA postseason this year even though they all have at least seven years experience. The top twelve officials we know because they make the Finals.
In terms of baseball, Doug Eddings hasn't made a baseball postseason since 2005.
We also remember after a bad postseason for the umpires a couple of years ago, two MLB umpire supervisors lost their jobs.
