Always a bunch of gems from the comment section...
"If there is one unwritten fact about officiating, it is that a refs want a game to be a blowout. One team physically and methodically eliminating the opponent, thus, the referees influence is taken out of the game and they will put the game on cruise control, managing intricacies, and the controlling the game clock. Close basketball games create contentious calls and fouls, coaches petitioning for future fouls, bleacher creatures, and mistakes are made the heat of the moment.
Basketball officiating, definitely a job I would not want to do."
Have to say of all the 'unwritten rules' I've heard about from fans over the years...can't say I've heard this one before.
Time to add it to the unwritten rule book which is written by fan-boys that I keep somewhere....
