The sole purpose of any sports official is to insure a level playing field/court/floor, whatever. Therefore, calls are not ours to give or take. It is the player's responsibility to perform in a manner to obtain the desired call.

If you "give" something to one team, you are denying the other of that level playing field.

BTW, obviously since you did make the call, the players claim that "nobody" makes that call is false
