Or calling a block on a moving defender because the defender wasn't "set" when both players were on the ground with contact solely in the torso.
I see officials call traveling wrong (both incorrect calls and incorrect no calls) because they don't understand the rules. For example, high dribbles, fumbles, muffs, etc. get called a travel/carry.
I see officials call violations on throwins because the don't know the rules....such as when the thrower moves their feet or jumps and lands with the ball.
I even see some of these incorrect calls in NCAA D1 games almost as much as I see them in HS games. All basic fundamental stuff that gets regularly missed.

But all this stuff you are mostly talking about, I see on this site mostly. I do not see these things being called in my actual games or games I witness live in my area on a regular basis. And I am not suggesting there are not rules mistakes, I see them often, but usually by younger officials or officials that are not at a certain level. And when more accomplished officials make those mistakes, it is usually rare.
