I really don't think so. I think that some calls just get missed. There are a LOT of PC fouls called in HS/college basketball, so many more than when I started back in the 1980s when it seemed the default call was always a block.
Sometimes I think we do a good job of refereeing the defense but don't always pick up when the offensive player is airborne, which is just as important. Couple that with an L trying to get in position....and maybe he just missed one.
