I totally disagree that there is serious damage done to the game because a minor violation that is hardly seen is missed or not called. For one I have yet to see an official get all those anyway.

I also do not think that calls that are not made are as consious or deliberate. I think many are just tough to see and you do not want to call what you "think" happen or cannot explain it. I see too many officials, especially at the HS level just call any action that is funny a travel. Or call the carry where they only see a hesitation, not the positioning of the ball. I do not know how many times I see a legal jump stop and all of a sudden a whistle. I do not think this is runing the game at all. It think the game just fast and hard to see everything. We are human after all and we make mistakes. I think too often people like to sit on their couch and complain about what they think they see and do not look at it from the perspective on the floor. I just saw a game of mine online and wanted to see my calls and if they were there. I saw some good things and I saw some bad things even in my game. I try my best to get all the obvious things and sometimes I missed some plays or was not as deliberate as I wanted to have things called.

The game is fine. Video has helped many of us get better with these calls. I know I have been helped to see myself on tape more often with all the formats games are broadcast.
