Other assigners may feel differently, but I don't feel anyone is out to screw over a team, and I believe in keeping things in perspective.
As JRut said, college is different. The 3 on this game weren't out to screw over the teams either but we're all warned/cautioned/whatever by our supervisors that messing up a call is one thing, kicking a rule is a totally different animal. Kicking a rule will lead to stiff consequences.
