I think for all sports but football, no official has changed the way they call based on the existence of replay. There's no desire to get it wrong because you can be bailed out. To assert this is, in my opinion, asinine.

In FOOTBALL, though ... it has changed things. The referee is more apt to rule, on the spot, in whichever way he needs to rule that doesn't stop the play. And apparent turnover, where an official used to be 80% sure the knee was down, he used to blow the play dead. Now he lets play proceed, because a wrong turnover call can be fixed, but a wrong dead ball call (except in very limited instances) can't.
