This is the most subjective call in the game anyway and most scrutinized and misunderstood. So I am not at all surprised that some calls would be for debate, because they are up for debate normally. But the calls I saw were mostly there and TV often does not show many angles to give the bigger picture because they are so concerned with spot shadowing two players. Remember the officials see actually a bigger picture than most TV shows and that is why often those plays might not look as good to everyone.
